Most Common Physical Therapy Techniques
Here are some of the most common methods used by physical therapists to promote proper mechanics and movement of the body while helping you stay healthy and strong.
- Manual Therapy – Among the best tools our Twin Boro physical therapists have are their own hands. Manual therapy comprises a number of different methods, including hands-on massage, mobilization, stretching and strengthening exercises that help reduce pain, increase range of motion, and decrease inflammation. and is considered to be a significant part of any physical therapy treatment plan. For patients with acute injuries and chronic pain, manual therapy is a cost-effective way to provide relief.
- Exercise – Exercise is the go-to treatment for most orthopedic conditions. When muscles, joints, and connective tissues have been pushed beyond their limits, almost nothing heals them faster than progressive range-of-motion and strengthening exercises. Exercises can also be done pre-surgery to help you recover faster afterward.
- Ice and Heat– Ice is an effective way to reduce and even prevent inflammation immediately after an injury. Cold therapy can also leave joints more mobile and enhance manual therapy. Applying heat can decrease pain and increase mobility after some injuries, primarily those involving soft tissue like muscles, tendons, and ligaments
- Ultrasound –Applying high frequency sound waves directly (and safely) to the skin generates heat to underlying connective tissues and relax them for manual therapy or exercise. Deep heating increases circulation to the tissues and is thought to help the healing process.
- Electrical Stimulation – Also known as E-STIM, electrical stimulation causes muscles to contract and can help restore muscular function after a traumatic injury. It may also help speed recovery after ACL and total knee replacement surgeries.
