One of the most common reasons for a physical therapy visit includes pulled muscles. Although many people rely on lots of rest to temporarily relieve the pain associated with a pulled muscle, it is likely that the pain will return without the help of targeted manual therapy.
This is because the actual injury is most often caused by a restricted joint. With the joint mobilization technique, our physical therapist works to loosen up restricted joints by with increased amplitude and the application of slow velocity.
This safe, effective and painless manual therapy treatment also helps to apply movement to the barrier of the joint and increase range of motion.
