Manual Therapy is great for conditioning soft tissues in our bodies. Kinesiologist can also use manual therapy as a tool to help their clients . I use manual therapy in my practice and I have seen great results with my clients. I use Fascial Release (soft tissue release) technique where pressure is applied to muscle or connective tissue in combination with active and passive movement to eliminate pain and restore motion. Along with muscle release techniques I also do joint... mobilization . Gentle pressure and movement of the joint with In pain free range to restore and improve joint range of motion. #manualtherapy #rehabilitation #musclereleasetherapy #fascialrelease #jointmobility #muscleconditioning #healthandwellness #injuryrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #kinesiology #kinesiologist #charmedwellness #kitchenerwaterloo #cambridgeontario #elmiraontario #kwawesome #wrawesome #seniorwellness #kinweek2020 #withakinyoucan
