Rehabilitation Manual Therapy
Rehabilitation Manual Therapy
Focused soft tissue manual manipulation of tight, adhesions in the musculo-skeletal tissues. This may include deep soft tissue manipulation, American trigger point acupuncture, air cupping with infra-red heat, therapeutic ultrasound, or Vietnamese guas'ha.
What does "deep soft tissue" manipulation mean? If you are a bodybuilder and developing hard muscles in your back and shoulders, you should seek out someone in their 20's, 30's or 40's to lay into your boulders. I use to be that guy but 33 years later, I take pride in assessing the quality of muscular tissue and strength in athletes and the imbalances between muscle groups. My hands are more than ever healing hands finding scar tissue and healing it. I do moderately deep tissue manual therapy versus DEEP tissue, no longer the deepest tissue therapist on the block and am happy to advise you to find someone who does not have the many years of experience and seasoned expertise that a veteran has. In these 33 years of my practice, I wisely give way to younger, stronger therapists who can easily plow through to China as I once did about ten years ago. I prefer working on runner, yoga, swimmer men, and in general, women's athletic bodies - as their goals are not to have hard bulging boulders, which my finger joints can no longer risk servicing without injury. Bodywork is an extremely grueling career as are sports and dance careers, all of which have age limitations associated with them. I am blessed to work another 25 years WISELY and with discrimination.

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.
