Injury Specific Training
Injury Specific Training includes the assessment,
treatment and management of soft tissue injury, pain,
and dysfunction. Treatment techniques include:
- Lympathic Drainage to the specific area for reducing
swelling or inflammation. (Clients currently in treatment
with a physician will need written/verbal approval to
proceed with treatment) - Post Surgery clients may receive
lymphatic drainage of that site 2X’s per week for at
least a month.
- Trigger point therapy for the alleviation of trigger
points. – Because injuries are usually not bilateral
but only effecting one side of the body trigger point
therapy is used in areas effected by this imbalance
to the posture to prevent the potential for future imbalance
and subsequent injury.
- Myofascial (muscle and fascia) therapy for flexibility/mobility
of the connective tissues of our body, or for alleviating
fibrous adhesions and decreasing the severity of scars.
– This technique is very effective for repetitive
- Frictions for the ridding of adhesions between fascial
layers, muscles, compartments and the like. Frictions
also promote healing in tendon pathologies as well as
decreasing pain perception.
- Sustained pressure (digital
pressures) to alleviate hypertonic (tight)areas within
muscle and fascia. This technique also releases or stimulates
acupressure meridian points for whole health.
- Other
techniques such as Active Release Therapies, Myofascial
Release and deep tissue massage are all derivatives
of the techniques above. They are NOT unique techniques
with unique results.
- Stretching - static, dynamic,
and/or Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)
stretches
- Exercise Prescription
- Recommendation for
treatment (Using Innate-Muscle Testing)
