Manual Therapy

Manual therapy encompasses a range of techniques designed to address different aspects of musculoskeletal health. Each technique plays a unique role in facilitating recovery and improving function:

• Traction: Involves gently pulling on the spine or joints to relieve pressure and reduce pain.
• Massage: Targets soft tissues to relax muscles, improve circulation, and alleviate tension.
• Trigger Point Therapy: Focuses on specific points of muscle tightness to release knots and reduce pain.
• Active Release Techniques (ART): A hands-on method that releases muscle tightness and improves movement by targeting specific muscle areas.
• Assisted Active Range of Motion (AAROM): Involves guided movement of the affected joint to improve range of motion.
• Passive Range of Motion: Therapist-assisted movements to maintain or improve joint flexibility.
• Lymph Drainage: Techniques to promote lymphatic flow and reduce swelling.
• Stretches: Includes muscle, neural tissue, joint, and fascia stretches to enhance flexibility and reduce stiffness.
• Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM): Utilizes specialized tools to break down scar tissue and improve tissue mobility.
• Joint Mobilization: Gentle movements applied to joints to improve range of motion and reduce pain.
• Joint Manipulation: Precise adjustments to restore joint alignment and function.

Manual therapy is particularly beneficial for conditions such as:

• Soft Tissue Injuries: Including strains, sprains, and muscle tension.
• Joint Inflammation and Pain: Addressing discomfort and improving joint function.
• Reduced Range of Motion: Enhancing movement and flexibility in affected areas.
• Chronic Pain: Providing relief from long-term pain conditions.
