: Continuous, slow-velocity passive movements applied within or at the end of a joint's range to reduce stiffness.
: Methods like Trigger Point Release and Myofascial Release address tension in connective tissues and muscles that contribute to joint restriction.
This therapy targets functionally reversible movement restrictions through a variety of hands-on methods:
: Patients contract their muscles against a therapist's resistance to lengthen shortened muscles and improve joint mobility.
: A high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust directed at a specific joint to restore motion, often resulting in an audible "click" or "pop".
: Reducing acute and chronic pain by disrupting the pain-spasm-pain cycle.
: A unique focus on teaching patients self-mobilization to maintain progress. Manipulative Therapy - ScienceDirect.com
: Relieving "blockages" in the spinal column and extremity joints.
