The physical therapists at Optimum Rehab are trained in multiple forms of physical therapy to ensure the right treatment is provided to facilitate rehabilitation.

Manual Therapy

Also known as hands-on therapy, manual therapy uses no machines. Instead, therapists use only their hands while performing skilled, specific hands-on techniques, mobilizations/manipulation.

Manual Therapy helps to increase circulation, break up scar tissue and reduce or eliminate soft tissue inflammation. It helps to reduce pain and improves flexibility in joints and muscles.

 

Active Release Therapy

ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

 

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. It is also used for Preventive Maintenance, Edema, and to treat pain.

 

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can ally with standard medical treatment for a wide range of medical conditions.

 

ASTYM (Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization)

ASTYM helps break down scar tissue and has been extremely effective in the treatment of tendonitis. ASTYM incorporates flexibility, strengthening, and muscle re-education. This process allows the physical therapist to work effectively on a patient in a minimal number of sessions. However, in order for ASTYM to work, patients must take an active role in their rehabilitation process by maintaining flexibility at home.

 

Neural Mobilization Technique

Neural Mobilization is a technique which involves streching and movement of the tight neural structures to relieve pain, numbness, tingling or weakness. Common conditions include carpel Tunnel Syndrome, Sciatica.
