However, this is not the case! If you experience persistent, nagging pain, manual physiotherapy could be the answer to your prayers.
How can manual therapy treat pain?
Our physiotherapists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating movement disorders. These disorders often occur following injuries, accidents, surgeries, or illnesses – essentially, anything that makes you feel weak and unable to function at your normal physical levels.
Your treatment plan will likely include several different therapies, all aimed at helping a specific function of your body. Some exercises may focus on improving your balance and strength, while others may focus on increasing your range of motion. Manual therapy is a crucial part of a treatment plan, as it helps to reduce pain and swelling, minimize inflammation, and increase range of motion.
Is manual therapy safe?
Yes, manual therapy is safe and non-invasive. It does not require you to have expensive surgeries or take harmful, possibly addictive medications. Our physiotherapists will use many different modalities and techniques to help move your joints, ligaments and tendons in ways that will promote healing and soothe the pain. These procedures will also reduce scar tissue and minimize inflammation.
Our physiotherapists are extensively trained medical professionals who can recognize the limitations of your body, but also appreciate its capabilities. It is very common for patients to notice better functionality and improvements after just one manual therapy appointment.
Techniques Of Manual Therapy
There are a variety of manual therapy techniques available to patients. The techniques of this therapy may include, but are not limited to:
Joint mobilization
When you experience extreme discomfort following an injury, it is usually the product of a limited joint. Our physiotherapists are specially qualified in the mobilization of confined joints by applying pressure at a low velocity.
Manual
Traction
The physiotherapist will apply gentle pressure to a certain area of the body during manual traction to gently stretch the soft tissues and restore normal, natural motion While this procedure can be used on other areas of the body such as the arms, legs, and back.
Soft tissue manipulation
Physiotherapy manipulation techniques are very specific and targeted. These are highly therapeutic in nature and serve a medicinal purpose. Our Calgary physiotherapists employ soft tissue treatments to soften scar tissue and adhesions.
Spinal manipulation
Spinal manipulation is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy technique used to assess and improve spinal function and relieve pain. It may help with joint pain relief, inflammation reduction, and nerve function improvement.
