Physical Therapy Specialty Treatments

ASTYM:

Astym treatment is a physical therapy treatment that helps regenerate healthy soft tissues(muscles, tendons, etc.), and eliminates or reduces unwanted scar tissue that may be causing pain or movement restrictions. Astym treatment is effective for restoring movement and reducing pain from soft tissue injury/dysfunction.

Postural Restoration:

The focus of postural restoration (PR) is on restoring faulty posture  (or pathomechanics) believed to be a cause of complaints toward normal, rather than directing interventions toward the painful extremity or region of complaints. The clinician’s goals are often to decrease unwanted hypertonicity via muscle inhibition to facilitate muscle balance, so certain muscles don’t have to be so active. Muscle balance or repositioning will also enable certain muscles to be in a better position to work so they are also in a better position to rest. This is often accomplished via muscle activation of specific muscles on a specific side of the body.

Dry Needling:

Dry needling is a technique physical therapists use to treat pain and movement impairments. The physical therapist inserts a “dry” needle, one without medication or injection, into areas of the muscle. The needle stimulates underlying myofascial trigger points and muscular and connective tissues. Dry needling can release or inactivate trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion. Research suggests that dry needling improves pain control and reduces muscle tension.
