Techniques Used by Your Gage Physio Hamilton Mountain Therapist
Our highly-trained team employs a variety of targeted hands-on techniques, ensuring your treatment is specific to your body’s needs:
Joint Mobilization
Gentle, rhythmic movements applied to a stiff joint (spine, shoulder, hip, etc.) to lubricate the joint surfaces, increase flexibility, and reduce nerve irritability.
Joint Manipulation
A quick, precise, low-amplitude movement often used to release a significantly restricted joint, restoring instant mobility.
Soft Tissue Mobilization (Specialized Massage)
Deep, therapeutic pressure applied to muscles, tendons, and ligaments to break up scar tissue, relax chronic tension, and improve blood flow for healing.
Myofascial Release
Focusing on the fascial connective tissue that wraps muscles, this technique releases systemic tension and restrictions that can contribute to pain far from the original site.
Trigger Point Therapy
Applying direct pressure to hypersensitive "knots" in muscles to deactivate them and resolve referred pain patterns.
Primary Goals: Immediate Benefits of Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is the most effective way to achieve rapid change in physical function. It is particularly effective for:
Rapid Pain Reduction
The hands-on treatment targets pain signals in the nervous system, often providing noticeable, immediate relief from stiffness and aches.
Restored Flexibility
Quickly releases restricted joints and muscles, which allows you to achieve a greater range of motion faster than stretching alone.
Improved Movement Confidence
By reducing pain and stiffness, your therapist builds your trust in your body's ability to move, which is essential for successful rehabilitation.
Enhanced Exercise Effectiveness
We use manual therapy to "unlock" a stiff area before exercise, ensuring that your stretches and strength training are targeting the right tissues and maximizing your results.
