Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists to diagnose and treat muskeletal pain. It involves techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, and manual stretching to improve function.
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic exercise is a type of physical therapy that involves specific exercises designed to help patients recover from injuries or illnesses. These exercises improve strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and can pain and enhance physical function.
Dry Needling
Physical therapists use dry needling to alleviate pain and muscle tension by inserting thin needles into trigger points in the muscles. This technique can help release tension and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling focuses on the musculoskeletal system rather than the energy meridians used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Cupping
Cupping in physical therapy is a technique that involves placing cups on skin to create suction. This suction may help to relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing. It is often used in conjunction with other forms of treatment, such as massage and stretching.
iASTM
iASTM is a physical therapy technique that uses specialized tools to diagnose and treat soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. It helps to break up scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.
Therapeutic Taping
Therapeutic taping is a technique used in physical therapy to support muscles and joints, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve circulation and range of motion. It involves applying a special tape to the affected area in a specific pattern to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. This technique is commonly used in sports medicine and rehabilitation settings.
Electrical Stimulation
E-stim, or electrical stimulation, is a physical therapy technique that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles and nerves. It can be used to reduce pain, improve muscle strength and function, and healing. E-stim is often used in conjunction with other physical therapy treatments to help patients recover from injuries or conditions that affect their mobility and function.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a therapeutic modality commonly used in physical therapy. It uses high-frequency sound waves to promote healing and reduce pain in soft tissues such as muscles tendons, and ligaments. The waves penetrate deep into the tissue, increasing blood flow and promoting tissue relaxation.
Low Level Laser (Cold Laser)
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level lasers to stimulate healing and reduce pain and inflammation. It is commonly used in physical therapy to treat a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and wound healing. Cold laser therapy works by increasing blood flow to the affected area promoting cell growth and repair, and reducing inflammation.
Gait Evaluation & Shoe Recommendation
A gait evaluation is an assessment of how a person walks or runs. It involves analyzing the movement of the entire body to identify any abnormalities or imbalances that may be causing pain or limiting mobility. The results of a gait evaluation will allow for a personalized treatment plan and shoe recommendation to improve a patient's overall function and quality of life.
