Renew Wellness offers a variety of treatments that are centered around movement and functionality. These treatments are often combined with some of our progressive therapy treatments like dry needling , cupping , or instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization. Manual therapy takes a hands-on approach to physical therapy. This type of treatment is used to activate muscles and joints, regain mobility and promote healing.
Manual therapy can be used to treat specific conditions like back pain or shoulder pain, but can also be used in preventative care and performance training sessions. Percussion therapy is a technique that applies rapid and repetitive pressure on specific body parts. The most common tool used by Renew Wellness physiotherapists is a Hypervolt massage gun.
Percussion therapy is used to reduce muscle pain, improve range of motion, and accelerate recovery. It is great for people with deep knots in their muscles and fascia. Infrared Light Therapy is used to treat acute or chronic pain. Wavelengths of light penetrate through multiple layers of skin to reach muscles and nerves. This treatment can improve blood circulation, which promotes faster healing of deep tissues and provides pain relief.
Cryotherapy uses ice application to treat injuries, typically in the early stages of treatment. Cryotherapy treatment may include ice packs or ice massages. Iontophoresis is a type of electrical stimulation used by physiotherapists to push anti-inflammatory medicine into the injured tissues. Iontophoresis is most commonly used to treat scar tissue, swelling and inflammation, and other conditions depending on the medicine used with it. Kinesio taping also known as KT taping is a technique frequently utilized in physical therapy to support and enhance the body's natural healing processes.
This method involves applying a special elastic tape to the skin over muscles, joints, or other target areas. It is is designed to provide support and stability to injured or strained areas while still allowing for a full range of motion. Kinesio taping can help reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension, making it a valuable tool for physiotherapists in aiding their patients' recovery and promoting optimal movement patterns.
