Physical Therapy
Physical therapy utilizes a combination of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise to optimize recovery and improve performance. Therapeutic exercises reinforce and maintain the positive changes achieved through manual therapy. Regular therapeutic exercises and manual therapy promote long term benefits and allow you to participate in the daily activities and sports you love.
Some Of The Manual Therapy Techniques We Utilize
IASTM
Instrument-assisted soft tissue massage (IASTM) utilizes specialized tools to apply controlled pressure and specific strokes to address soft tissue dysfunction, increase blood flow, and break down adhesions. By promoting tissue healing and restoring normal, pain-free movement patterns, IASTM is one of many tools that a trained physical therapist uses to get their patients back to the activities they love.
Massage
Soft tissue massage is a technique using light pressure that addresses superficial muscles, tendons, and fascia. Deep tissue massage is a technique that targets deeper layers of muscle. Both techniques are used to reduce pain, release muscle tension, improve flexibility, and aid in injury recovery.
Cupping
Cupping is a technique that uses negative pressure to create suction. By placing cups on the skin and removing the air inside them, the negative pressure is created, which helps to draw muscular tissue and other soft tissues upward. Physical therapists use this technique to promote increased blood flow, decrease muscular tension, and reduce pain.
Joint Mobilizations
Joint mobilizations are performed to various joints in the body such as the spine, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles. Joint mobilizations use controlled pressure to address tissues that surround the joint that otherwise can not be stretched on your own. Physical therapists use joint mobilizations to restore normal range of motion, reduce pain, and improve functional movement.
Myofascial/Active Release
Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles. This technique involves applying sustained pressure and stretch to the fascia. Active release technique uses movement and pressure to areas of tense muscles. Both techniques are used to treat soft tissue injuries and improve range of motion by increasing blood flow, promoting relaxation, and breaking up scar tissue and adhesions
