A plan of care is implemented incorporating manual therapy, progressive exercise and patient education.Manual therapy is needed to facilitate a quick recovery by addressing joint restrictions and soft tissue irritation. Our physical therapists have advanced training in manual therapy techniques of muscle energy, strain counter strain, positional release, joint mobilization, soft tissue massage and myofascial release. Our exercise training focuses on improving muscle imbalances, stabilization and coordination.We feel it is imperative for patients to play an active role in their recovery.
