Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR)
BFR training involves using a specialized device that partially restricts blood flow to a limb during low-intensity exercise. This allows patients to build muscle strength and size while using lighter weights, making it especially beneficial for those recovering from injury or surgery. Blood Flow Restriction Training enhances muscle adaptation and promotes faster recovery by mimicking the effects of high-intensity training without the added strain on joints and tissues.
Cupping
Cupping uses suction from special cups placed on the skin to boost blood flow, reduce muscletension and speed up healing. It is used to relieve pain, improve movement and help recoveryfrom injuries by improving circulation and reducing inflammation.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM uses specialized tools to apply pressure to muscles and tendons, helping to break down scar tissue, reduce pain and improve mobility. It’s commonly used to treat soft tissue injuries and promote healing.
Manual Therapy
Manual physical therapy techniques involve hands-on approaches to treat musculoskeletal issues. These techniques include targeted stretching of muscle groups and mobilization of joints to restore range of motion and alleviate pain. By using skilled movements and pressure, manual therapy helps to improve tissue flexibility, reduce stiffness, and promote overall function. This therapeutic approach is often integrated into treatment plans to enhance recovery, improve mobility, and optimize physical performance.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique used in physical therapy to support muscles and joints while allowing for a full range of motion. The tape, made of elastic material, is applied to the skin in specific patterns to provide support, reduce pain, and improve circulation. By lifting the skin slightly, Kinesio tape helps to alleviate pressure on pain receptors and promote healing by enhancing lymphatic drainage. It is commonly used for injury recovery, rehabilitation, and preventive care in athletes, helping to enhance performance and reduce the risk of re-injury.
