Physical Therapy Treatment Techniques

---

This is a hands-on physical therapy approach using different manual techniques to address muscle and fascial tightness and tension.  It is helpful in addressing inflammation, pain, and post surgical conditions, together with extensive patient education. 

 This treatment modality is used to provide deep heating, energy and increased circulation to soft tissues in the body. 

  This is a passive treatment modality  that may be used to stimulate muscles (NMES) that are weak or to decrease pain, inflammation, or spasms (TENS).  

  To decrease pain, improve circulation or improve muscle function, your physical therapy may include kinesiology taping.   This process can speed healing by slightly lifting skin away from sore or injured tissues, improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage, and supporting injured joints and muscles without impeding their range of motion.  

 This is a non-invasive technique that is used to treat soft tissue conditions.   It is an instrument-assisted therapy  used for chronic, acute or post surgical conditions and can aid in the treatment of issues like neck/back pain, fibromyalgia and other body tissue issues.
