- Manipulation TherapyWe take a hands-on approach when using Manual Therapy, which can help increase range of motion, decrease swelling, inflammation, and pain. In addition to this, Manual Therapy can also increase recovery time as we are able to manipulate the soft tissues of the body for better healing outcomes.
- Myofascial TherapyMyofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.
- AcupunctureDry needling is a technique physical therapists use for the treatment of pain and movement impairments. The technique uses a “dry” needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle. Dry needling is not acupuncture, a practice based on traditional Chinese medicine and performed by acupuncturists. Dry needling is a part of modern Western medicine principles and supported by research. Physical therapists use dry needling to release or inactivate trigger points (A trigger point is a taut band of skeletal muscle located within a larger muscle group.) to relieve pain or improve range of motion. Preliminary research supports that dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, and normalizes dysfunctions of the motor end plates, the sites at which nerve impulses are transmitted to muscles. This can help speed up the patient’s return to active rehabilitation. Trained by Dr. Ken Cooper, PT/DC techniques he has used since the 1980’s, Dr Schonhoff is certified in Dry Needling, originally created by Dr Janet Travell, MD an expert in trigger points.
