Treatment Techniques

A manipulation delivered either with hands or tools to temporarily restore improved bio-mechanical motion at the joint and can decrease pain.

Dry needling therapy, rooted in neurophysiology, involves the precise insertion of thin needles into trigger points to elicit a therapeutic response. By targeting muscle knots and areas of tension, this technique aims to promote pain relief, improve range of motion, and enhance overall muscle function.

Cupping therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, promoting blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and alleviating pain. This technique is widely used for its potential benefits in addressing various soft tissue issues.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM), commonly associated with techniques like Gua Sha, utilizes specialized tools to scrape or rub the skin's surface, aiming to reduce restriction in muscle and fascia through neuromuscular means. This method is thought to promote blood flow, reduce inflammation and pain, and enhance tissue healing.

Rehabilitation exercises play a crucial role in solidifying neurological gains achieved through soft tissue therapy. By targeting specific muscle groups and movement patterns, these exercises help reinforce improved neural connections, enhance motor control, and ensure lasting functional improvements for individuals undergoing soft tissue therapy.
