MANUAL THERAPY
Therapeutic Touch to Revitalize Your Body
What is Manual Physical Therapy?
Dr. Ivan Bracic offers expert manual therapy, a specialized hands-on treatment performed by skilled healthcare professionals. This technique uses precise, targeted hand movements to assess and treat soft tissues and joint structures. Our manual therapy approach aims to reduce pain, increase mobility, and improve function in various body areas, promoting overall physical wellness and enhancing quality of life.
Benefits of Manual Therapy
Pain Relief: Effective for both acute and chronic pain conditions.
Improved Mobility: Enhances joint range of motion and muscle flexibility.
Better Circulation: Promotes blood flow to treated areas, aiding healing.
Reduced Muscle Tension: Helps relax tight muscles and alleviate associated discomfort.
Non-Invasive: Provides an alternative or complement to medication and surgery.
Personalized Care: Tailored to your specific condition and body’s needs.
Our doctors will discuss how these benefits apply to your particular situation during your consultation.
Unwinding Tissue Tension with Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a specialized manual therapy technique that targets the fascia, a web-like connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs throughout the body. This involves applying sustained, gentle pressure to areas of restriction within the fascial network. As the therapist’s hands glide over the skin, they sense areas of tightness or adhesion, often feeling like knots or bands beneath the surface.
Is Manual Therapy Right for You?
Conditions like osteoporosis or joint hypermobility may require alternative approaches focusing on stability rather than hands on manipulation. Your therapist will assess your medical history and comfort level to determine if manual therapy is appropriate. It’s important to discuss any concerns about hands-on treatment.
The goal of manual therapy is always to reduce pain and improve function. Techniques range from gentle soft tissue mobilization to more targeted joint mobilization. Your therapist will start with gentler methods, adjusting based on your response and comfort. Remember, your feedback is crucial – if any technique causes discomfort, your therapist will modify their approach to ensure the treatment is both comfortable and effective for you.
