In addition, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial and trigger point release, connective tissue manipulation, and deep tissue massage. Patients may also be appropriate to learn strengthening exercises activities to help build muscle awareness. Occasionally, treatments may include TENS stimulation, hot and cold therapies. At the end of the session, you will be given a home exercise program to supplement any manual therapies or in session exercises.

Any patient should arrive wearing comfortable clothing that is easy to move in. Our doctors will carry out a thorough examination to assess the patient’s condition and needs.
