Report
Hand Therapy is the art and science of rehabilitation of the shoulder, arm, and hand. It merges comprehensive knowledge of the upper extremity with the skills and therapeutic techniques of the professions of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. This specialty was developed in response to advancements in technology and surgical techniques that have enabled the greater functional restoration of injured upper limbs.
Manual Therapy Techniques
Report
Myofascial release therapy techniques are performed to loosen and break up scar tissue in order to restore normal function to tissue. Scar tissue limits range of motion and can perpetuate pain and dysfunctional movement. Myofascial therapy is performed in a slow and precise manner that can stimulate the nervous system.
