joints, and increasing your range of motion. What Is Considered Manual Therapy?
• SoftTissueMassage - Our physiotherapists usemassage treatments as away tomanipulate the soft tissues, working to break up scar tissue and adhesions caused by inflammation or injury. This is done through deep pressure and rhythmic stretching, allowing them to find and mobilize areas of your body that areheavily restricted. These techniques also help to improve blood flow and circulation. • Mobilization - When you experience severe pain after sustaining an injury, it is usually the result of a restricted joint. Our physiotherapists are specially trained to mobilize restricted joints by applying pressure at a low velocity, allowing for an increase in your range of motion and mobility. • Manual Traction - Gentle force is applied to a certain area of the body, in order to gently stretch the soft tissues and restore normal, natural movement.
