I would highly recommend both the physiotherapists and the massage therapist. I have had treatment on several occasions from both and they are always very professional with excellent service.

Today was my first physiotherapy experience and I'm glad I made the choice to see, Dave Rambukkana @ Dynamic Balance! The clinic was a relaxing and friendly atmosphere, with no rushed feelings. Dave was clearly a very experienced and informed Physiotherapist and clinic owner. I will be returning to follow up on my injury and will choose this clinic for myself and my family in the future if needed.

Manual Therapy: A Safe Alternative To Harmful Medication

Manual therapy is one of the safest methods of treatment for acute and chronic pain. It’s non-invasive, natural, and effective. It doesn’t require the use of any harmful, addictive medications either! Instead, our Oshawa, ON physiotherapists use a variety of techniques that help mobilize your tendons, ligaments, and joints in ways that relieve pain and promote healing. They also help in reducing scar tissue and minimizing inflammation.

Our physiotherapists at Dynamic Balance Physiotherapy & Sports Injuries Centre are highly trained and attentive professionals who understand your body’s restrictions, as well as its capabilities. Many patients notice improvement after just one session of manual therapy!

So… what exactly is manual therapy?

Manual therapy is just one tool in a physiotherapist’s kit that allows them to mobilize stiff joints and soft tissue. This specialized form of treatment helps in reducing swelling, decreasing restriction, mobilizing joints, and increasing your range of motion. Our physiotherapists have received extensive training in specialized manual therapy techniques from a wide variety of schools and instructors.

Different Kinds of Manual Therapy

Manual physiotherapy techniques may include, but are not limited to:

Manual traction

During manual traction, your physiotherapist will apply gentle force to a certain area of your body, in order to gently stretch the soft tissues and restore normal, natural movement. Although the neck is the most common area for manual traction, it can also be performed on other parts of the body, including your arms, legs, and back.

Mobilization

After sustaining an injury, you may end up experiencing severe pain. This is usually the result of a restricted joint. Our Oshawa, ON physiotherapists are trained in mobilizations to restricted joints by applying pressure at a low velocity. Mobilization techniques are safe, effective, and painless, allowing for an increase in your range of motion, and the improvement of the restricted joint’s mobility.

Soft Tissue Massage

Physiotherapy massage treatments are a little different than those you might receive at a spa. These are more therapeutic in nature, and with a medical intention. Our Oshawa, ON physiotherapists use massage therapy as a way to manipulate the soft tissues, working to break up scar tissue and adhesions caused by injury or inflammation.This is done through deep pressure and rhythmic stretching, allowing them to find and mobilize areas of your body that are heavily restricted. These techniques also help to improve blood flow and circulation of the affected muscles and soft tissues.

Manual Therapy In Your Treatment Plan

As mentioned before, our Oshawa, ON physiotherapists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating movement disorders. It’s common for these disorders to develop after surgery, especially if a patient has had a total joint replacement, for example, a hip replacement. Many physicians will recommend physiotherapy as treatment for their patient’s recovery after injuries, illnesses, or accidents. Anything that makes you feel weak or unable to physically function in a normal manner is a cause for physiotherapy.

Everyone’s treatment plan is different because no two people experience the same exact types of pain. Your treatment plan at Dynamic Balance Physiotherapy & Sports Injuries Centre will consist of exercises, stretches, and different therapies aimed at relieving your specific pain condition.

Some exercises may focus on improving your balance and strength. Others may work on increasing your range of motion. Manual therapy is a very important part of a physiotherapy treatment plan because it helps to decrease pain, swelling, & inflammation, as well as increase overall mobility and range of motion.
