PRO PT Group: Manual Therapies

Soft tissue mobilization helps break down scar tissue, release fascial restrictions, improve circulation, and reduce muscle tightness. Therapists apply precise manual pressure to restore normal tissue movement and reduce pain.

Cupping therapy uses gentle suction to lift soft tissue and improve blood flow. This technique may help decrease pain, inflammation, and muscle tension and is often used as part of a comprehensive physical therapy treatment plan.

Joint mobilization involves skilled movements applied directly to restricted joints. This hands-on technique helps improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and restore proper movement patterns that cannot be achieved independently.

PNF is a manual resistance technique that stimulates the nervous system to improve coordination, strength, and movement control. It is commonly used to enhance functional mobility and stability.

Muscle energy techniques use gentle muscle contractions against therapist resistance to improve joint alignment, lengthen tight muscles, and reduce localized discomfort. MET is effective for restoring normal joint motion.

Myofascial release targets the body’s fascial system, which surrounds muscles, bones, and nerves. Gentle, sustained pressure helps release restrictions caused by injury or repetitive stress, reducing pain and improving overall mobility.
