Therapy

Manual therapy has many benefits, including reducing pain, reducing stress and strain, increasing joint mobility and soft tissue health, increased blood flow and reducing inflammation.

To achieve above mentioned benefits, manual therapy demands various techniques often used in combination.

Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) means sensing blockages in body systems and working to guide your tissues to clear those impairments and restore optimal function.
Myofascial Release: gentle, sustained pressure to mobilize connective tissue, relax contracted muscles, and increase blood and oxygen circulation to the tissues.

Neural Tissue Tension Techniques: If a nerve gets “stuck”, or adheres to a structure nearby, that might send a pain signal to your brain, or limit your ability to move that part of your body. Neural tissue tension techniques are used to release any tension, adhesions, or “stuck” nerves, restoring optimal function.
Craniosacral Therapy: Craniosacral Therapy uses very gentle hands-on pressure to release tension and improve fluid flow, allowing your body to self-heal and calm the nervous system.
Visceral Mobilization: It is a specific manual therapy technique to relieve fascial adhesions in the deep tissues around your organs and your abdominal wall. Whether from a surgery, pregnancy, car accident, trauma, poor posture, muscle imbalance, illness’, strains etc. in the connective tissue in your abdomen can cause pain and other dysfunctions. Your therapist can assess these deep tissues, to see if they are contributing to your symptoms, and release them.
Joint Mobilization: Mobilizing a joint means applying movements to the joint in a varying range of pressure, speed, and amplitude. The goal of joint mobilization is to reduce pain and restore optimal biomechanics, movement, and function to the joint.
Medical Massage: Different massage techniques are applied to reduce swelling, improve flow of lymph fluid, bring in nutrients and disperse waste products, break up scar tissue and stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.
Lymphedema and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Soft hand gestures to help reduce oedema, either chronic or acute.
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF/Kabat method): sensorimotor reprogramming technique meant to obtain the reinforcement of the muscular contraction. It involves both reflex, automatic and voluntary motor skills.
Trigger Point Therapy: The releasing of a precise area of muscle tension (also called “knots”), that are causing acute and sharp pain and can hinder movement.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM)
Cupping Therapy: With the use of cupping we release scar tissue and fascial adhesions. Reduce painful trigger points. Improve circulation, blood and lymph circulation. Promote mobility and range of motion.
Thecar-therapy by Winback: High frequency energy coupled to electric currents allows better tissue healing by accelerating the lymphatic- and blood circulation in the areas of application. At the same time, energy is transmitted to biological tissues to treat joint and muscle pain.
