Myofascial Release
The gentle manual stretching of muscles and connective
tissue to release and eliminate fascial restrictions resulting from injury or prolonged
poor posture.Cranio-sacral Therapy
A gentle technique to mobilize and realign the cranial
bones, spine, and sacrum when head and neck injuries have forced the cranial bones out of
alignment.
Muscle Energy Techniques
A gentle isometric contraction used in a specific
position to realign the spinal segments and sacrum.
McKenzie Mechanical Evaluation
A protocol for disc protrusion that evaluates the spinal
structure followed by a mechanical approach emphasizing posture correction and an exercise
program to mechanically reduce the protrusion.
Electrical Stimulation with Acuscope and Myopulse
Microamperage computer-assisted device to reduce edema
(swelling) and pain, and recruit muscle fibers to increase strength in the involved areas.
Biofeedback
Relaxation technique to reduce stress and neuromuscular
tension by developing control of the involuntary nervous system.
Massage-Medical-Sports-Stress
Increases circulation, reduces muscle tension and stress, restores
movement and alignment of the spine.
Lymphatic Massage
Designed to improve metabolism by accelerating the flow

Accupressure
Application of pressure on appropriate acupuncture
points to reduce pain and increase muscle relaxation.
Somato-Emotional Release

Stretching, Strengthening, Reconditioning
Individually designed patterning techniques used to
recruit muscle strength and coordination.
Work Reconditioning
Individually designed exercises to reduce the possibility of further
injury in the workplace.
Spinal Stabilization Program
Evaluation and diagnosis for trunk instability usually
resulting from lower spine injury, disc herniation. Patient is taught abdominal and hip
extension strengthening exercises and taught to move and function in neutral spine.
Strain Counter-Strain
Pain-free techniques which relieve tension from muscles
around the joints by slowly moving through the range of motion and teaching the patient to
maintain this range.
Visceral Mobilization
Working with patients with digestive disorders to
normalize function.
Back School
Teaching patients proper posture both sitting and
standing, teaching proper lifting and moving techniques as applicable in their workplace.
Discuss ergonomics in the workplace to reduce body stress and recurrent injuries. |
