Special Manual Techniques

At ISR Physical Therapy, we offer a range of specialized manual therapy techniques designed to address specific musculoskeletal conditions and enhance your overall rehabilitation experience. Our skilled therapists employ these hands-on methods to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote healing.

Our Specialized Manual Therapy Services

Our special manual techniques include:
  • ASTYM (Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization): A non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing response to regenerate healthy soft tissues and eliminate or reduce unwanted scar tissue.
  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage: A gentle massage technique that encourages the movement of lymph fluids to reduce swelling and improve circulation.
  • Manual Traction: A method of applying gentle pulling forces to the spine or limbs to relieve pressure on joints and alleviate pain.
  • Therapeutic Massage: Targeted massage techniques to relax muscles, improve blood flow, and reduce muscle tension.
  • Joint Mobilization/Manipulation: Skilled movements applied to joints to restore optimal motion and function.
  • Passive Range of Motion (PROM): Movements performed by the therapist to maintain or increase joint flexibility without patient effort.
