Soft Tissue Soft tissue mobilization will help decrease tightness. tone, stress and pressure to surrounding areas. It will Increase blood flow, mobility, flexibility and range of motion. Soft tissue mobilization promotes fiber realignment and collagen lengthening. Risk factors: Soreness, bruising. petechiae, contusions, Increase heart rate, Increase respiratory rate.

Joint Mobilization Joint mobilization will help Increase Joint flexibility, blood flow and nutrition, range of motion and Joint lubrication. It will also help decrease scar tissue, adhesions and risk of frozen joints capsulitis), Risk factors: Soreness, sprains, strains, joint fractures, bruising.

Stretching Stretching will help increase blood flow, collagen pliability, lengthening, mobility, flexibility and range of motion. It will also help decrease stress to surrounding areas. Risk factors: Soreness, strains, tears, decreased muscle performance.

Exercises Exercising will help increase strength, motor control, neuromuscular control, stability, balance, blood flow and Joint lubrication. It will help Improve cardiovascular endurance, aerobic endurance, anaerobic strength, function with ADL's, posture, gait and neurological function. Exercising will help decrease the risk of cancer, obesity, risk of heart disease, adhesions and tightness. It promotes healing and helps with circulation. Risk factors: Soreness, sprains. strains, Joint fractures, Increase heart rate, Increase respiratory rate, Increase fatigue, muscular pain, Joint pain, dizziness.

Myofascial Decompression Myofascial decompression Is soft tissue stretching that helps Increase blood flow. mobility, flexibility and facilitate healing. It will help with neuromuscular reeducation, Improve motor control and eliminate toxins. Risk factors: Soreness, petechiae, bruising and discoloration, Increase body temperature, vasovagal response, Increase heart rate, Increase respiratory rate. Irritation to stein, over stretching of skin. sort tissue strain.

Electrical Stimulation Electrical stimulation E-stim) helps decrease pain, tightness, tone and scar tissue. It helps Increase blood flow and nutrition as well as circulation. E- stim helps with neuromuscular control (NMES), muscle strengthening and muscle reeducation. Risk factors: Pain, burns, shock, heart palpitation, nerve pain, muscular pain.

Taping Taping helps with neuromuscular reeducation, postural control, strengthening and stability. it also helps increase flexibility. Risk factors: Skin irritation, soreness. Ice Ice will help decrease inflammation, blood flow, vasoconstriction and pain. It will also help promote healing. Risk factors: Skin irritation, stiffness, soreness, burn

Heat Heat will help increase blood flow and decrease tightness and pain. It will also help promote healing relaxation. Risk factors: Burns, increase inflammation, increase heart rate, increase respiratory rate, increase blood pressure.

Mechanical Traction/ Manual Traction Mechanical traction Is a device used to provide a longitudinal force to the cervical or lumbar spine. Traction Increases the space between your vertebrae and stretches surrounding muscles to relieve pain due to nerve impingement. Risk factors: Sprains. strains, bruising, Joint fractures. and decreased muscle performance.

Aquatic Therapy Aquatic therapy will help decrease compression and Impact on Joints and muscles. It will help with strengthening, flexibility, blood now, circulation. and blood return. It will also help with hydration of the Joints and discs. Aquatic therapy will help with balance, assistance of range of motion, cardiovascular endurance, respiratory function. neuromuscular education. gait training, core strengthening and lymphatic drainage. It will also promote hydrostatic pressure for blood return and edema reduction.

Risk factors: drowning, skin Irritation, soreness. sensitivity to the cold, sensitivity to the sun, muscular strain, joint strain.
