Techniques Of Manual Therapy
There are a variety of manual therapy techniques available to patients. These therapy techniques may include, but are not limited to:
1) Joint mobilization: When you experience extreme discomfort following an injury, it is usually the product of a limited joint. Our physiotherapists are specially qualified in the mobilization of confined joints by applying pressure at a low velocity.
2) Manual traction: The physiotherapist will apply gentle pressure to a certain area of the body during manual traction to gently stretch the soft tissues and restore normal, natural motion. While this procedure can be used on other areas of the body, such as the arms, legs, and back, it is most often used on the neck.
3) Soft tissue massage: Physiotherapy massage therapies are not the same as what you’d get in a salon. These are more therapeutic in nature and serve a medicinal purpose. Our Toronto physiotherapists employ massage treatments to break up scar tissue and adhesions caused by inflammation or damage to manipulate the soft tissues. This is performed through the application of deep pressure and rhythmic stretching, which aids them in finding and moving severely restricted bodily parts. These approaches also help to improve blood flow and circulation to the muscles and soft tissues that are afflicted.
4) Spinal manipulation: Spinal manipulation is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy technique used to assess and improve spinal function and relieve pain. It may help with joint pain relief, inflammation reduction, and nerve function improvement.
