Head To Toe offers a comprehensive package of care designed to cater to each patient’s unique needs. This package can encompass various therapeutic techniques, including manual therapy, health/lifestyle education, self-management guidance, sleep, nutrition and exercise therapy. The selection of techniques is carefully determined based on the individual patient’s requirements to ensure optimal results.
Pain Management:
One fundamental principle of Head To Toe is to prioritize patient comfort. Techniques used are never intended to cause pain. In cases where pain is already present, I am trained to avoid exacerbating it by using alternative techniques more suitable for the patient’s condition.
Manual Therapy Techniques:
Head To Toe employs various manual therapy techniques to address a wide range of musculoskeletal and systemic issues. These techniques include:
- Stretching Muscles: using muscle stretching techniques to improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and enhance overall mobility. This gentle approach can help alleviate discomfort caused by muscle imbalances.
- Articulatory Techniques: These involve the precise movement and manipulation of joints. Articulatory techniques are employed to restore joint function, relieve stiffness, and promote proper alignment.
- Visceral Techniques: HTT may perform techniques on the abdomen to address issues related to organs such as the stomach and intestines. Visceral techniques aim to enhance organ function and alleviate associated discomfort.
- Cranial Techniques: Cranial techniques involve gentle manipulation of the fascia, the membranous tissues that envelop various structures in the body, including the head. This approach, called cranial Biobasics, is especially well-suited for treating young children and newborn infants due to its non-invasive nature.
Rehabilitation and Patient-Centered Care:
HTT is patient-centric, meaning that treatments are tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs and expectations. As a result, two patients with the same condition may receive different treatments and advice after a consultation. However, both patients can expect to benefit equally from the personalized care they receive to address their specific health concerns.
