Treatment Techniques
Every condition requires a different, individualized treatment plan. Here at Advanced Physical Therapy of Venice, we specialize in finding a treatment plan that addresses your pain, personal goals, lifestyle, and comfort level.
Manual Therapy
Therapists specialized in manual therapy perform soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, manipulation and various other manual therapy techniques to facilitate movement.
Tool Assisted Mobilization
The use of tools to assist with soft tissue mobilization can be helpful when restrictions are noted and flexibility is limited. We utilize a wide variety of tools and techniques such as cupping, muscle scraping stainless steel tools, ultrasound therapy, and electrical stimulation.
Agility
Daily and sport specific activities require a certain level of agility and coordination. Both speed and control are necessary when looking to return to your recreational or professional sport.
Exercise
Movement is essential to one’s overall wellbeing and health. Resistance training facilitates strength and subsequently helps with further injury prevention.
Balance Training
Balance is essential to minimize fall risk and maintain independence in the home. Dynamic, innovative balance treatments are necessary to replicate sport specific and activities of daily living.
Motor Control
Persistent pain can often lead to altered movement patterns and strength deficits. Assessing activation patterns, muscle sequencing and recruitment is essential to restoring normal movement.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a treatment focused on addressing trigger points within a muscle that contribute to pain. The needles stimulate your muscles, which helps relieve pain and improve range of motion.
Flexibility
Limited flexibility can be the cause of pain and decreased joint range of motion. Emphasis on restoring motion is essential to normalizing movement patterns.
Understanding Pain
Pain can be scary, frustrating, and at times, all consuming. We understand that pain can affect every aspect of your life – mind, body and spirit. The first step in controlling pain is understanding where it comes from and why it occurs. Let Advanced Physical Therapy help you navigate your pain experience and find the right solution.
