Treatment Techniques
By combining state-of-the-art techniques with time-tested ones, we provide the safest and most highly effective physical therapy possible.
The Mulligan Technique
The Mulligan Technique utilizes active movement with joint mobilizations to restore your proper range of motion in a joint such as your ankles, knees and shoulders as well as your neck and back. This treatment has progressed from its foundation in remedial gymnastics and active exercise to therapist-applied passive physiological movements and accessory techniques. Brian Mulligan's concept of mobilizations with movement (MWMS) in the arms and legs and the joints in the spine. SNAGS have evolved into therapist-applied movements combined with your active movements to improve motion and decrease pain.
(ASTYM) Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization
(ASTYM) Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization (ASTYM) is a system that uses instruments, exercise and stretching to treat your chronic musculskeletal disorders in the extremities and into the back and neck. This treatment is a revolutionary process that heals your soft tissue problems. ASTYM (A-stim) treatment is a rehabilitation program that stimulates the regenerative healing process of your body. This approach is a non-invasive therapy that works quickly and consistently. The ASTYM system rejuvenates muscles, tendons and ligaments and helps reduce scar tissue problems from old injuries. Common injuries that respond well to this type of therapy are Achilles tendonitis and tennis elbow. There is scientific background, data and experience that prove the benefits of ASTYM.

Progressive Exercise

Subsequent treatment for you might include stretching, soft tissue and joint mobilization or myofascial release. This helps stretch your muscles and improve your range of motion while relieving pain. The goal of manual physical therapy is to reduce your pain and restore movement.
