Rehabilitation Manual Therapy
Rehabilitation Manual Therapy
Orthopedic, Sports, Neuromuscular, deep tissue, manual therapy - all of these are medically focused hands on therapy that amount to the same intention. The patient has a soft tissue (muscle/tendon/ligament/connective tissue) injury, and it is my intention to assist in healing it. This is not a Swedish massage technique (aka massage therapy), which is a light touch efflourage based technique that is licensed in NYS. You might as well be applying suntan oil to the skin. Unless you are over 90 years old and cannot take any pressure. Manual therapy is a focused soft tissue manual manipulation of tight, adhesions in the musculoskeletal tissues.
My style is eclectic. If you hate acupuncture, fine I will not do acupuncture. But my acupuncture style is Japanese, It will not hurt. It is not Chinese, which usually hurts in order to "wake up the body" - no thank you.
A session with me includes deep, soft tissue manipulation, American trigger point acupuncture, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture (or no acupuncture per your choice), air cupping with infra-red heat, my table is equipped with far-infrared light. I can add therapeutic ultrasound, and Vietnamese guas'ha if needed.

Deep tissue rehabilitation manual therapy, sports therapy, myofascial therapy
As an acupuncturist, I use rehabilitation manual therapy as a supplemental technique to acupuncture, trigger point acupuncture and electro-acupuncture. Rehabilitation manual therapy as a stand alone technique, treats muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, pain, inflammation, soreness, tight muscles - for marathon runners, athletes, dance injuries, sports injuries and computer pain syndrome: neck pain, and upper to lower back pain and anterior hip flexor (psoas) tightness and pain from sitting long hours, gluteal pain, (knee) patellar tendonitis pain and ITB tightness, and ankle sprains level 1-2.
Also, treated as stated above, are ilio-tibial band/patellar tracking pain (knee pain), calf pain, achilles tendonitis, ankle sprain level 1 and 2, "frozen shoulder" adhesive capsulitis, referred pain into your shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, golfer's and tennis elbow, migraines and headaches, TMJD - jaw (masseter muscle) tightness, foot pain (neuroma) under the second and third toes, bone fracture pain, and plantar "fascitis" pain. Note: plantar fasciosis is a disorder where the fascia is repeatedly stressed rather than inflamed. Other terms used to describe plantar fasciosis include calcaneal enthesopathy and calcaneal spur syndrome (heel spur).
Impinged nerve root in the neck I use acupuncture and therapeutic ultrasound.
