Manual therapy
Manual Therapy:
Manual therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy where skilled hands are used to manipulate muscles, joints, and soft tissues to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or managing chronic pain, manual therapy can be a highly effective part of your treatment plan.
How We Treat Injuries with Manual Therapy
At our clinic, manual therapy is an integral part of our treatment approach. We use this hands-on technique to target the root cause of your pain and discomfort. Here’s how we do it:
- Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your injury or condition to determine which manual therapy techniques will be most beneficial.
- Joint Mobilization and Manipulation: Gentle, controlled movements are applied to the joints to improve mobility, relieve pain, and increase range of motion.
- Soft Tissue Mobilization: Our therapists use techniques like massage and myofascial release to loosen tight muscles and alleviate pain in the surrounding soft tissues.
- Trigger Point Therapy: This technique involves applying pressure to specific points on the body to relieve tension and pain caused by muscle knots.
- Stretching: We assist with passive stretching to enhance flexibility and reduce muscle stiffness, helping you move more freely.
- Postural Alignment: Manual therapy often includes realigning the body to promote better posture and prevent further strain or injury.
How Can Manual Therapy Help?
Manual therapy addresses a wide range of injuries and conditions, including:
- Muscle Strains and Sprains: Promotes healing and reduces tension in injured muscles.
- Joint Stiffness and Arthritis: Improves joint mobility and reduces pain in conditions like osteoarthritis.
- Back and Neck Pain: Effective in relieving discomfort caused by poor posture, overuse, or acute injuries.
- Sports Injuries: Helps in the recovery from injuries like ligament sprains, tendonitis, and muscle tears.
- Chronic Pain Conditions: Addresses long-standing issues like lower back pain, fibromyalgia, and tension headaches.
By targeting specific areas of dysfunction, manual therapy helps restore normal movement and function, allowing your body to heal naturally.
