PHYSICAL THERAPY

Our therapists use a hands-on approach along within conjunction specific modalities as needed. The most commonly used therapeutic procedures/modalities are:

• Manual (hands-on) Therapy: Consists of myofascial release techniques, stretching of restricted structures and specific strengthening of weak muscles, soft tissue and joint mobilization/ manipulation, muscle energy and Mulligan techniques. They help restore your back, neck, or other painful areas to the youthful pain-free resilience.
• Pain Management: Use of moist heat, cryotherapy, ultrasound, phonophoresis, Iontophoresis, and massage.
• Therapeutic Exercises: Customized for each condition including strengthening, stabilizing and stretching restricted structures to restore normal pain-free range of motion. These exercises will improve movement and proper muscle balance.
• Postural Corrections: This addresses behavior modification, postural exercise, and self-awareness. We concentrate on correcting musculoskeletal derangements.
• Home Management Program: A short and detailed home exercise program corresponding to the appropriate stage of condition, which includes the do's and don'ts of self-management.
