Common Techniques
Soft Tissue Mobilization & Manipulation
Utilizing advanced hands-on techniques to optimize muscle function and loosen tightness. Manual manipulation of the muscles aids to increase range of motion and muscle strength. All while also restoring functionality and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Treat muscle injuries and get-back to your full, pain-free mobility.
Joint Mobilization & Manipulation
Joint mobilization involves passive movement of a joint within its normal range of motion using grading, oscillatory or sustained pressure. Joint mobilization aims to promote gliding of the joint surface, stretch joint capsules, and decrease muscle tightness and spasm. It can be combined with other treatment modalities, such as exercise and soft tissue techniques, to help improve the overall outcomes.
Athletic Taping
We offer athletic taping on many areas of the body to protect and stabilize joints against high-impact activity. Improving mobility and supporting muscles and tendons with specialized tape, we ensure our patients are working safe in any activity or sport. We also provide quick ankle and shoulder k-tape sessions for all previous patients before important sporting events and competitions.
Exercise Prescription
Designing and prescribing exercise programs that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual patient. The prescription of exercise is a fundamental component of physiotherapy and is used to help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and improve their overall health and well-being. By prescribing exercise programs that are tailored to the individual needs of each patient, we are able to help you achieve optimal outcomes and improve the overall quality of life.
