- Dry Needling is a technique which uses sterile very thin needles like those used in acupuncture to reduce trigger points which are tender hyper-irritable knots, nodules or bands of muscle that can refer pain to other locations in the body and can cause chronic or acute pain as well as muscle tension.
- Myofascial Release is a hands-on technique where gentle sustained pressure is applied into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.
- Therapeutic Exercise is movement of body parts to correct an impairment, improve musculoskeletal function, and maintain a state of well-being.
- Topical Agents are applied to certain body parts on the skin for penetration into structures beneath the skin to promote muscle relaxation, and alleviation of pain.
