Manual Therapy is a hands-on treatment approach used to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve overall function. Our physical therapists utilize various techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, and stretching to aid recovery.
The answer is yes, with our expertise in manual therapy, our doctors can often bring about noticeable improvements in just a single session. Our doctors employ a range of methods to mobilize your tendons, ligaments, and joints to alleviate discomfort and facilitate recovery. Additionally, they assist in diminishing scar tissue and reducing swelling.
Manual therapy can provide relief by targeting specific areas of pain or discomfort. Manual therapy techniques can help improve mobility and reduce muscle tension, and help in promoting relaxation to decrease stress levels.
When it comes to soft tissue work, our doctors use pressure on soft tissues, like muscles, which has been found to be highly effective in relieving pain. It is also utilized to break up scar tissue after surgery or an accident and to improve circulation.
Mobilization/manipulation techniques are employed to manipulate bones and joints to ensure they are in the correct position. After an injury, your range of motion in your limbs may be significantly limited, so mobilization/manipulation therapies are focused on restoring proper joint function.
1. Soft tissue mobilization: By applying deep pressure and rhythmic stretching, therapists can locate and release tight areas in your body. These methods not only enhance blood circulation but also promote mobility in muscles and soft tissues
2. Manual Traction: Manual traction involves applying gentle force to specific areas of the body, allowing for a gentle stretch of the soft tissues and the restoration of natural movement.
3. Joint Mobilization: If you're feeling intense pain after an injury, it's often because your joint is restricted. Our physical therapists have specialized training in mobilizing restricted joints using gentle pressure.
4. Strain Counterstrain: This method aims to alleviate tense muscles by maintaining a particular posture for around 90 seconds before slowly releasing from it. The objective is to improve flexibility and relieve tension in tissues affected by injury.
