What about the Muscles and Nerves?
Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial Release targets restricted fascia, connective tissue surrounding muscles. Using pressure and stretching techniques, MFR improves flexibility, reduces pain, and promotes healing in conditions like plantar fasciitis, chronic neck pain, or muscle tightness. Research has shown MFR's effectiveness in treating conditions caused by muscle and fascial tightness.
PNF Stretches
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretches use a combination of stretching and contracting muscles to increase range of motion, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. Great for athletes and individuals recovering from injuries, PNF stretches can help alleviate muscle stiffness and prevent future injury.
Neuromobilizations
Neuromobilizations help release tension in the nerves by gently moving them through their proper range of motion. This technique is beneficial for conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and nerve entrapments. Research shows it can reduce pain and improve nerve function.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
EMS uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, increasing blood flow and aiding muscle recovery. This treatment is effective for pain relief, muscle spasms, and improving muscle strength, particularly in rehabilitation settings after an injury or surgery.
