Physical Therapists provide treatment for musculoskeletal conditions and educate patients about staying fit to preventing future injuries.
Chiropractors perform adjustments (manipulations) on parts of the body to correct the alignment of bones and joints.
Involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, using various techniques such as rubbing, kneading, and applying pressure. Therapists customize techniques to address individual needs, aiding in stress relief, injury recovery, pain management, and overall well-being.
Uses thin needles inserted at specific points on the body to restore balance and promote healing by stimulating Qi flow. By targeting specific acupuncture points, practitioners aim to restore balance and promote the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Involves placing cups on the skin to create suction which helps to mobilize blood flow, loosen tight muscles, and promote healing. The cups can be made of glass, silicone, or plastic, and they are typically left in place for a few minutes to draw the skin upward.
Involves the insertion of thin needles into trigger points or tight bands of muscle tissue, without injecting any substance. The goal of dry needling is to release tension, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body's natural healing processes.
Targets fascial tightness and restrictions, aiming to improve flexibility, alleviate pain, and restore mobility. By applying gentle pressure and stretching techniques, therapists address areas of restricted movement, promoting relaxation, enhancing circulation, and supporting the body's natural healing processes.
Involves tailored exercises and maneuvers to improve vestibular function, enhance balance, and reduce symptoms such as vertigo and dizziness. By promoting adaptation and compensation within the vestibular system, this therapy aims to restore stability, reduce falls, and improve overall quality of life.
Targets fascial tightness and restrictions, aiming to improve flexibility, alleviate pain, and restore mobility. By applying gentle pressure and stretching techniques, therapists address areas of restricted movement, promoting relaxation, enhancing circulation, and supporting the body's natural healing processes.
Manual therapy technique that applies pressure to specific points of muscle tension, known as trigger points, to release tension and restore normal muscle function. By targeting these trigger points, therapists can help relieve muscle knots, improve blood flow, and reduce pain, promoting relaxation and restoring mobility.
Encompasses various approaches to alleviate swelling from lymphatic system issues, including manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, exercise, skin care, and patient education. The goal is to reduce swelling, enhance function, and improve the quality of life for affected individuals.
Method that involves applying elastic tape to the skin to support muscles and joints, aid healing, reduce pain, and enhance movement. The tape's flexibility allows for unrestricted motion while providing gentle support and feedback, making it valuable for injury rehabilitation, posture correction, and swelling reduction.
Through targeted exercises and feedback, individuals learn to move efficiently, reducing pain and preventing future injuries. By addressing the root cause of movement dysfunction, neuromuscular re-education promotes functional recovery and enhances overall quality of life.
These techniques aim to improve joint range of motion by gently stretching soft tissues and joint capsules, with manipulation utilizing high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts for targeted joint dysfunctions. Integrated into physical therapy, they optimize joint mechanics, reduce pain, and promote overall mobility and well-being.
Developed for the treatment of Scoliosis, which involves exercises and techniques designed to elongate the spine, correct imbalances, and improve posture through personalized programs tailored to each individual's curvature.
Harness the power of focused light to accelerate tissue repair and stimulate cell growth, fostering faster healing processes. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory effect helps alleviate pain and swelling, promoting overall recovery and well-being.
Uses specialized cuffs or bands to partially restrict blood flow to a limb during exercise, enhancing muscle growth and strength with lighter loads. This has been shown to induce metabolic stress and muscle fatigue, leading to hypertrophy and improved performance while minimizing stress on joints.
