Manual Therapy

Muscle tissue, ligaments, joints & nerves require good circulation & movement within the body to allow one to function optimally. Chronic tension, impingement & scar tissue can limit proper range of motion and create stress to other areas of the body. Therapists at Synergistic utilize various manual therapy techniques to enhance overall circulation, improve connective tissue pliability, mobilize scar tissue, and facilitate better muscle & joint proprioception. Specific techniques include, but not limited to:   

• Deep soft tissue release      
• Myofascial release      
• Scar tissue mobilization      
• Joint mobilization       
• Static & dynamic stretching      
• Active Release Techniques®      
• Functional Manual Reaction: a hands-on technique that not only assesses movement restrictions at a given joint, but can also facilitate the proper bone sequencing at that joint, which is essential in attaining efficient and effective motion to the overall task. 

Functional Exercise 

Instead of fitting one’s body to a protocol of exercise, we follow the principles of Applied Functional Science and facilitate the proper reaction & movement the body was meant to perform. Our therapists create customized exercises for the patient based upon the actual activity or skill that they are trying to attain, rather than training their body to do a movement that is unrelated to their therapy goals. 

Custom Foot Orthotics 

Orthotic prescription involves a comprehensive biomechanical analysis that looks at lower extremity structure and alignment during BOTH static position and dynamic function. The devices are designed to not only correct foot alignment, but more importantly, create the proper muscular reaction through the rest of the body. As a result, walking becomes more efficient, balance is improved, and stress is reduced to overly-strained areas.
