Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy

McKenzie Method:  

Also known as Mechanical diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), the McKenzie Method is a philosophy of active patient involvement and education for back, neck and extremity problems. The key distinctions is its initial assessment component- a safe and reliable means to accurately reach a mechanical diagnosis and only then make the appropriate treatment plan. Most patients, who respond Favorably, can successfully treat themselves and minimize the number of visits to our clinic.  

Myofascial Release (John F. Barns Method)  

MFR is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure to the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion .

Each MFR session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure.

 The Kinesio Taping® 

 The Kinesio Taping® Method is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to: 

• facilitate the body’s natural healing      process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints      without restricting the body’s range of motion 
• provide extended soft tissue      manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within      the clinical setting. 

Latex-free and wearable for days at a time, Kinesio® Tex Tape is safe for populations ranging from pediatric to geriatric, and successfully treats: 

• Orthopedic conditions
• neuromuscular re-education
• neurological
• other medical conditions 

The Kinesio® Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique not only offering your patient the support they are looking for, but also rehabilitating the affected condition as well. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, Kinesio® Tex Tape alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin.  This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for a decrease in inflammation of the affected areas.Courtesy of kinesiotaping.com
