Recovery is an essential step that many tend to overlook. The muscle soreness felt 1-3 days after an intense workout, known as DOMS, repetitive movements at work, or long periods of sitting at a desk, can all lead to discomfort. Our Recovery Therapists use various techniques to ease that soreness, helping you train harder and perform at your best.
Manual therapy is a hands-on technique that includes joint mobilization, spine manipulation, and myofascial release. These skilled techniques help reduce pain, improve range of motion, and enhance mobility by targeting the body's pain receptors.
Cupping therapy, a form of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), uses vacuum cups to pull the skin upward, drawing fluid into the area to stimulate natural healing. At Unify PT, this technique is often combined with manual therapy or exercise to treat pain and movement issues more effectively.
IASTM uses stainless-steel tools to scrape the skin, increasing circulation and breaking down scar tissue to promote tissue healing. This technique is ideal for treating musculoskeletal issues like tendinopathy, muscle strains, and other connective tissue conditions, reducing pain and improving mobility.
Air compression therapy uses controlled pressure to boost blood and lymphatic circulation, helping to reduce swelling. Compression boots apply targeted pressure, benefiting those with conditions like lymphedema, edema arthritis, CVI, varicose veins, or post-surgical recovery. The therapy mimics a massage effect to improve blood flow, decrease inflammation, and enhance flexibility.
Body tempering rolls a weighted bar over muscles and joints to break up adhesions, relax muscles, and improve tissue elasticity. This technique increases blood circulation and helps muscles recover faster, reducing pain and preparing the body for future activities.
Assisted stretching involves a provider guiding you through stretches to increase flexibility and mobility. At Unify PT, this technique helps reduce stress, improve performance, lower the risk of injury, and provide consistent support for patients' physical well-being.
If you or a family member have been dealing with persistent pain for more than three weeks without improvement, a visit to a licensed physical therapist could be highly beneficial. While many aches and pains improve on their own, ongoing issues often need a professional evaluation from a musculoskeletal expert.
