Joint Mobilisation and Manipulation (The Crack): Joint mobilisation is one of the techniques performed during consultations. However just like the other techniques it is not always used. Patients are screened for this technique and it is strictly performed with patient consent. It is mainly aimed at increasing the range of motion available at the joint and improving the pain experienced.
Dry Needling involves the insertion of a sterile acupuncture needle. This is mainly performed to release the ‘knots – aka Trigger points’ in the muscles.
Soft Tissue Techniques are aimed at addressing tightness in the muscles. Examples of some of these techniques include inhibition, friction and massage.
Treatment plans are crucial to what we do. It is necessary to set goals, monitor progress and achieve results. This is individual to the diagnosis and the patient.
The last phase of treatment involves strengthening exercises, ergonomic advice, and rehabilitation strategies to help in your recovery and obtain long term results.
