: Reducing acute and chronic pain by disrupting the pain-spasm-pain cycle.

: Patients contract their muscles against a therapist's resistance to lengthen shortened muscles and improve joint mobility.

: Continuous, slow-velocity passive movements applied within or at the end of a joint's range to reduce stiffness. Manipulative Therapy in Rehabilitation Locomoto...

: Methods like Trigger Point Release and Myofascial Release address tension in connective tissues and muscles that contribute to joint restriction.

: A specific PIR technique often used to release hypertonic muscles and "reset" the nervous system's control over a muscle group. Therapeutic Goals : Reducing acute and chronic pain by disrupting

: Relieving "blockages" in the spinal column and extremity joints.

This therapy targets functionally reversible movement restrictions through a variety of hands-on methods: : Methods like Trigger Point Release and Myofascial

: A high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust directed at a specific joint to restore motion, often resulting in an audible "click" or "pop".
