You need effective treatment
Manual physical therapy is a generic term for any hands-on treatment and is clinically proven to be more effective. Kelly King, DPT, is trained in many different hands-on advanced manual therapies such as:
- Massage therapy
- Passive range of motion
- Muscle energy technique
- Soft tissue/joint mobilization (Involves loosening up the restricted joint and increasing its range of motion by providing slow velocity (i.e. speed) and increasing amplitude (i.e. distance of movement) movement directly into the barrier of a joint.)
- Joint manipulation
- Trigger point release
- Myofascial release (A hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.)
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (Small electrical impulses are sent through the skin to the underlying nerves and muscles to create an involuntary muscle contraction, promoting blood supply to the area that assists in healing.)
- TENS [transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation] (A small battery-operated machine that uses electrical transmission to decrease pain.)
Dr. King complements hands-on therapies with various PT modalities and therapeutic exercise. All of these techniques are used to get exceptional results for:
- Sports injuries
- Back pain, neck pain and knee pain
- Work injuries
- Post-surgical care for rehabilitation
- Balance problems and fall prevention
- Joint pain, arthritis, tendonitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
