Most Common Physical Therapy Techniques
Here are some of the most common methods our physical therapists may use to promote proper mechanics and movement of the body while helping you stay strong and healthy.
- Manual Therapy –Hands-on strengthening exercises, stretching, and massage help patients move better, improve circulation, and decrease muscle tension. For patients with acute injuries and chronic pain, manual therapy is a cost-effective way to provide relief.
- Therapeutic Exercise – Exercise is the go-to treatment for most orthopedic conditions. Physical therapists use it to target weak muscles, address muscular imbalances, keep aches and pains at bay, and improve range of motion. Exercises can also be done ahead of surgery to help you recover faster afterward.
- Ultrasound –Applying high frequency sound waves to the skin generates heat to underlying connective tissues and relaxes them for manual therapy or exercise. Deep heating increases circulation to the tissues and is thought to help the healing process.
- Ice and Heat Therapy – Tried-and-true ice and heat therapies are two of the best physical therapy methods available. Typically, heat can treat tightness and muscle spasms and reduce pain before exercise. This is followed by ice to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain afterward.
- Laser – Physical therapists use state-of-the-art low-level lasers to generate wavelengths of light that can speed up the healing process and reduce inflammation, muscle fatigue, and pain. They can be particularly effective for individuals with muscular or connective tissue injuries.
- Electrical Stimulation – Also known as E-STIM, electrical stimulation causes muscles to contract and can help restore muscular function following traumatic injury. It may also help speed recovery after ACL and total knee replacement surgeries.
Want More Freedom? Try Telehealth Physical Therapy
“Virtual” physical therapy, also called “telehealth” or “telemedicine” physical therapy, is the use of electronic communication to provide services remotely over a technology platform like a smartphone, tablet or computer that is equipped with a camera and microphone. We use a secure and confidential (HIPAA compliant) telehealth platform that is very user-friendly.
Telehealth PT should appeal to anyone who is interested in more freedom with their physical therapy care plan. Expect the same things you would from in-person PT, including a treatment plan and exercise program to continue between sessions.
One of our physical therapists will work one-on-one with you to assess your condition and provide real-time feedback. They can also provide modifications and recommendations on current exercises, and help you continue your progress without disruption or relapse.
