Is Manual Therapy the
Same as a Massage?
While they may seem similar, getting a massage versus seeking out manual therapy are two vastly different things. Massage therapy usually aims to relax the body and mind, while manual therapy aims to heal injury and reduce pain in specific areas of the body. Manual therapy is a more targeted approach.
Postural Training in Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Sciatica, neck pain, back pain, an improper gait, and a slew of other symptoms could be due to being out of alignment. Postural training focus on performing exercises that treat muscular imbalances to help improve posture. When your posture is off, it can affect the strength and performance of your muscles, leaving you weaker or feeling pain on one side of your body.
A Look into Postural Therapy Appointments
If you are feeling worried or nervous about what postural training entails, fear not. Postural training appointments usually begin with a series of assessments, followed by exercises. We typically:
- Used specialized technology to help us determine which of your joints are out of alignment
- Observe your gait to see if something needs to be adjusted
- Implement a series of mobility tests to help determine severity
- Work on performing exercises that help rebuild strength and flexibility to improve posture
Is Orthopedic Rehabilitation Right for You?
Generally, people tend to minimize the amount of pain or discomfort that they suffer each day until it finally catches up to them. While it may seem easy to ignore or avoid general discomfort in your body, it almost always leads to injury or more sever pain if it is not dealt with.
Orthopedic rehabilitation focuses on relieving that small pain and discomfort before it turns into a bigger problem. We offer a wide range of orthopedic services from joint pain treatment, pelvic therapy, shoulder therapy, knee pain treatment, to wrist pain treatment and much more. Your body is made for movement, so get back to feeling mobile with 208 Physical Therapy.
