Treatment
Physical Therapy treatment provided at Colette’s Therapy is unique from any other. Treatment is always one on one. All techniques are pain free.
Pain is a result of dysfunction in soft tissue which causes compression of painful nerve endings. Soft tissue includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue and fascia. Pain will not just dissipate by strengthening the muscle; one must first “fix” the dysfunction.
That is what we do at Colette’s Therapy; we alleviate dysfunctions which cause pain. Three basic techniques are used alone or in combination. Those techniques are:
Strain/Counterstrain
Myofascial Release
Functional Mobilization
Once pain is relieved that which is weak is easily strengthened. With strengthening comes a need for balance and so balance and strength are gained together after the pain is reduced.
