Frequently Asked Questions
My back feels sore and sometimes the pain goes to my buttock and legs?
Stretching, McKenzie manual therapy, correction of alignment, and electrical stimulation are effective approaches for alleviating back pain as well as pain in the buttocks and legs. These methods work synergistically to improve flexibility, restore proper posture, reduce muscle tension, and promote nerve function, contributing to overall pain relief and enhanced mobility.
It hurts a lot when I sit down for a long time ?
Piriformis muscle syndrome can cause significant discomfort and functional limitations. An effective approach to treatment includes a combination of stretching, McKenzie manual therapy, alignment correction, and electrical stimulation. These methods work together to alleviate pain, improve muscle function, and restore proper biomechanics. Seeking physical therapy that emphasizes a tailored stretching routine and a targeted pain relief program is essential for optimal recovery and long-term well-being.
I have back pain with sciatica?
Manual physical therapy, combined with stretching, alignment correction, targeted exercises, and electrical stimulation, provides a comprehensive approach to improving musculoskeletal function. This integrated method helps reduce pain, enhance flexibility, correct posture, and accelerate recovery, leading to better overall physical well-being. Physionique’s personalized programs adapt these techniques to each individual’s needs for optimal results.
I have a stiff neck?
Stretching the right muscles, manual therapy, posture correction, and electrical stimulation can help improve flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance overall physical function. By targeting specific muscle groups with tailored stretching exercises, muscle tension is relieved and joint mobility is increased. Manual therapy aids in loosening tight tissues and promoting blood flow, which supports healing and relaxation. Posture correction addresses imbalances that can cause discomfort or strain, leading to better alignment and reduced risk of injury. Electrical stimulation can further assist by activating muscles, reducing inflammation, and speeding up the recovery process. Together, these therapies provide a comprehensive approach to optimizing physical health and well-being.
I have pain in the neck with numbness/ tingling going down my arm and forearm
Accurate manual therapy to decompress the pinched nerve, combined with targeted stretching to loosen tight muscles, creates the foundation for effective treatment. Incorporating exercises designed to stretch and strengthen the affected muscles further supports recovery. Additionally, the use of electrical stimulation can enhance muscle activation and promote healing. Together, these methods address the root cause of neck pain accompanied by numbness or tingling radiating down the arm and forearm, improving function and reducing discomfort.
I feel sore after a workout . My muscles and joints hurt a lot.
Stretching the right way with trigger point therapy followed by electrical stimulation to contract and relax tight muscles enhances recovery after a workout. Trigger point therapy targets specific muscle knots, releasing tension and improving blood flow. Following this with electrical stimulation promotes muscle contraction and relaxation cycles, which reduce muscle soreness and accelerate healing. Combining these techniques supports flexibility, reduces pain, and aids in faster muscle recovery for optimal well-being.
my both knees hurt. I don’t want to go for knee replacement
Physical therapy that incorporates stretching and manual therapy to realign the body, distract the joints, and enhance flexibility, combined with muscle-strengthening exercises and IFT (Interferential Therapy) current therapy, can significantly help prevent knee replacement surgery or delay the need for such procedures. This comprehensive approach supports joint health, reduces pain, and improves mobility, contributing to better long-term outcomes.
My shoulder feels stuck and I am unable to lift up my arm to reach an overhead cabinet
Physical therapy focused on mobilizing the shoulder joint plays a crucial role in breaking down adhesions that limit movement. Combining joint and muscle stretching with targeted exercises helps relieve stiffness effectively. This comprehensive approach is essential for restoring the shoulder’s range of motion to normal, improving function, and enhancing overall well-being.
I had a baby and its been hurting down there. I am unable to participate in intimacy like I used to
Pelvic floor physical therapy is effective in relieving pain and stretching tight muscles after childbirth. Incorporating electrical stimulation can further enhance muscle relaxation and strengthen the pelvic floor, promoting faster recovery. This approach supports improved bladder control, reduced discomfort, and overall better quality of life for new mothers. Consistent therapy tailored to individual needs helps restore function and enables you to live more comfortably and confidently post-pregnancy.
