Also known as manual therapy or hands-on therapy, is a specialized form of physical therapy that involves the manipulation of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function.

Muscle scraping, also known as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), is a therapeutic technique used to alleviate muscle tension and improve mobility. It involves the use of specialized tools to gently scrape the skin over tight or injured muscles, which helps break up scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions.

Chiropractic adjustments involve skilled manipulation of the spine or other joints by a trained chiropractor to improve alignment, mobility, and function. This non-invasive treatment aims to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

Stretching is a practice that involves deliberately elongating muscles to improve flexibility, range of motion, and overall physical well-being. It can be done through various techniques such as static stretching, dynamic stretching, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF).

Kinesiotaping is a therapeutic technique involving the application of elastic adhesive tape to support muscles and joints, improve circulation, and alleviate pain without restricting movement. It’s commonly used in sports medicine and physical therapy to enhance performance and aid in rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation and physical therapy (PT) exercise programming involves designing tailored workout regimens to restore mobility, strength, and function after injury, surgery, or illness. These programs typically integrate a variety of exercises targeting specific muscle groups, balance, flexibility, and coordination.
