How We Treat
Craniosacral Therapy (CST):
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This therapy helps relieve tension, reduce pain, and improve overall body function, often benefiting those with chronic pain, headaches, or neurological conditions.
Cryotherapy:
Cryotherapy involves the application of cold temperatures to specific areas of the body to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain. In physical therapy, cryotherapy is commonly used with ice packs or cold compresses to promote faster healing from injuries, relieve muscle soreness, and decrease tissue damage.
Cupping:
Cupping is an ancient technique in which suction cups are applied to the skin to improve blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and promote healing. By drawing stagnant blood and toxins to the surface, this therapy can reduce pain and inflammation while enhancing overall wellness.
Exercises:
Therapeutic exercises are tailored to each patient's specific needs to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. These exercises are designed to aid in recovery from injuries, enhance physical performance, and prevent future injuries by promoting healthy movement patterns.
Kinesio Tape:
Kinesio taping involves applying elastic therapeutic tape to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. It helps reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling, while improving circulation and aiding in the recovery of injuries by providing gentle support to the affected area.
Laser Therapy:
Laser therapy uses low-level laser light to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular regeneration, reducing inflammation, and accelerating healing. It is commonly used to treat pain, swelling, and injuries in muscles, tendons, and joints.
​
Manipulation:
Manipulation is a manual therapy technique involving quick, controlled movements applied to joints to restore proper alignment and range of motion. This technique is particularly effective in relieving joint pain, improving mobility, and addressing conditions like back or neck stiffness.
Manual Therapy:
Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists to alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and address musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Techniques like joint manipulation, soft tissue mobilization, and stretching are applied to reduce stiffness, enhance circulation, and restore proper movement patterns.
Myofunctional Therapy:
Myofunctional therapy is a specialized treatment focusing on the muscles of the face, mouth, and throat to improve functions such as breathing, swallowing, and speech. This therapy is often used for individuals with sleep apnea, TMJ dysfunction, or issues related to improper tongue or jaw function.
Neuromuscular Re-education:
Neuromuscular re-education is a technique that retrains the communication between the brain and muscles to restore normal movement patterns. This therapy is especially useful for patients recovering from injuries or neurological conditions, helping improve balance, coordination, and muscle function.
Orthotics:
Orthotics are custom-made shoe inserts designed to provide support and alignment for the feet, ankles, and lower body. They help alleviate pain and discomfort caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or arthritis, promoting proper posture and reducing strain on joints.
Visceral Treatment:
Visceral treatment focuses on the body’s internal organs, targeting restrictions in the connective tissue that surrounds them. By applying gentle manual pressure, this therapy helps improve organ function, enhance mobility, and reduce pain related to issues such as digestive disorders or post-surgical adhesions.
