CONDITIONS TREATED:

• Low back pain, including sciatica and disc herniations

• Neck pain and stiffness, including whiplash injuries

• Chronic arthritis and joint stiffness

• Hip pain and degeneration

• Shoulder pain, including rotator cuff injuries

• Knee pain and stiffness

• Jaw pain or ‘TMJ’

• Bursitis, tendonitis or sprains

• Plantar fasciitis and other forms of foot pain

• Nerve entrapment syndromes that cause numbing and tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet, including carpal tunnel syndromes

 

THE CLINICAL BENEFITS:

• Dissolve adhesions in soft tissue, allowing for increased joint range of motion

• Mobilize restricted joints

• Re-hydrate tissue, allowing for better oxygenation and metabolic waste removal

• Normalize the position of soft tissue, allowing for the proper balance of tension and alignment of joints.

• Realigning soft tissue fibers to their normal parallel arrangement

• Unwinding tissue that has developed abnormal torsion

• Reduce the tension of sustained muscular contraction

• Lengthen contracted tissue

• Strengthen weakened muscles using muscle energy techniques

• Normalize blood and lymphatic flow by relieving compression and sustained contractions, allowing tissues to increase their ability to uptake and retain water

• Decrease swelling in joints by promoting the exchange of synovial fluid into and out of the joint capsule.

• Establish normal neurological function through manual and muscle energy techniques.

• Release entrapped nerve fibers

• Facilitate sensory-motor integration by bringing awareness to areas of habitual contraction
