Physiotherapy Vernon BC

A gentle hands-on technique to release muscle tightness and stiffness in fascia, a connective tissue that runs through muscle, as well as all other tissues in the body. Tightness often results from pain, injury or lack of movement. This treatment improves the health and mobility of the tissues, allowing more efficient use of the body. If you have an issue that gets better, then recurs, or never fully settles down, there is probably a degree of myofascial restriction.

Gliding stiff joints to reduce pain, restore movement and allow effective rehabilitation by improving the posture of affected joints and, in turn, the body as a whole.

Nerve tissue does not stretch, and therefore needs to be able to glide through the tissues to function well. Restricted nerve mobility is often responsible for sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome and pins and needles or numbness in other areas or the hands and feet. Restoring the normal glide to affected nerves can significantly reduce these symptoms in many cases.

Appropriate rehab is the key to making a good recovery and maintaining health, allowing you to function at your best. Strong muscle support joints and minimize the risk of future recurrence of your symptoms. Your exercise programme will be tailor-made to your specific needs and progressed as you gain flexibility and strength.
