• Corrective Therapeutic Exercises: Directed stability exercises for a wide range of physical activities that focus on creating strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and reinforce positive movement patterns.
• Muscle Energy Technique: Form of manual therapy which uses a muscle's own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle.
• Balance rehabilitation: Proprioceptive and balance exercises teach your body to control the position of a deficient or an injured joint. A quality subconscious proprioception and balance system is important in everyday life and particularly in sport.
• Integrative Dry Needling: Dry needling promotes the body’s self-healing process in localized soft tissues as well as benefiting the body by restoring systemic homeostasis. Restoring systemic homeostasis means reducing both physical and physiological stress. All body systems, including the immune, cardiovascular, endocrine, among others, can experience benefits through neurological and vascular inter-relationships. The procedure can also alleviate biomechanical imbalances such as joint and posture imbalance by addressing the soft tissue dysfunctions.
• Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (Graston): Graston is a form of manual therapy that uses instruments with a specialized form of massage/scraping the skin gently. The therapy is designed to help the practitioner identify areas of restriction and attempt to break up scar tissue By breaking down the scar tissue and fascia restrictions the patient will see and increase in ROM and reduction of pain, promoting a better healing environment for the injured soft tissue.
• Manual Therapy/mobilizations: Manual therapy is skilled hand movements intended to produce any or all of the following effects: improve tissue extensibility; increase range of motion of the joint complex; mobilize or manipulate soft tissues and joints; induce relaxation; change muscle function; modulate pain; and reduce soft tissue swelling, inflammation or movement restriction.
• Cupping: Cupping can help patients relieve muscle tension and tightness, but it can also help anyone with pain, stiffness, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
• Cervical/Lumbar traction: is a therapy that stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed nerves and stretch tight muscles, to treat back and neck pain.
• Modalities: A modality is a type of electrical, thermal or mechanical energy that causes physiological changes. It is used to relieve pain, improve circulation, decrease swelling, reduce muscle spasm, and deliver medication in conjunction with other procedures.
