Quality Physical Therapy Treats the cause, not merely the symptoms So what’s the secret to receiving quality physical therapy? Treatment provided by highly skilled, registered physical therapists trained to constantly re-evaluate your progress and adjust your treatment accordingly… That’s the secret to quality physical therapy Assistants and aides generally deliver modalities and cannot re-evaluate your problem and adjust the treatment accordingly. Only a registered, trained professional can deliver the hands-on techniques and supervised exercises you need to treat the cause of your injury and truly heal it. At Challenge Physical Therapy you will not be treated by aides or assistants, as we don’t employ them. Your treatment – your recovery- will be in the hands of highly trained and skilled registered physical therapists. The most effective treatment techniques are joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization and therapeutic exercise. What is Joint Mobilization? Joint Mobilization is a manual hands-on therapy technique that requires advanced understanding of and training in the treatment of joint dysfunctions. Joint dysfunctions are one of the most common causes of painful, debilitating symptoms. Treating them with joint mobilization can have profound healing effects. The physical therapists at Challenge Physical Therapy have at least Master’s Degrees in Manual Therapy (joint and soft tissue mobilization). What is Soft Tissue Mobilization? Soft tissue mobilization uses such techniques as: Myofascial release Soft tissue release/deep tissue massage Contract/Relax Strain/Counterstrain and other positional release techniques These techniques help restore circulation, decrease inflammation, restore and improve mobility,decrease pain and joint dysfunction as well as restore normal movement.
