Joints are the bony structures and connections of your spine and extremities. It’s common to see a combination of loose and stiff joints in the same region of the body. Loose joints are called a hypermobility, which can improve with stabilization exercises. Stiff joints are hypomobile, and can be treated by manual mobilizations. All SOL Physical Therapists have advanced training in how to mobilize stiff joints without causing stress to loose joints, thereby enhancing the speed of your recovery.
Soft Tissue structures include your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Tight or weak muscles can lead to poor movement and control, and ultimately injury. Often, muscle spasms can prevent your nerves from gliding and moving properly, causing further pain. SOL Physical Therapists perform a variety of soft tissue techniques to decrease pain and muscle spasms, and increase tissue flexibility and nerve mobility.
Posture Control involves your body’s ability to move with proper stability and mechanics. Incorrect body mechanics, poor muscle control and movement imbalances during daily activities often lead to injury. You will be taught how to properly activate your inner-core stabilizing muscles with daily activities, to improve body mechanics and decrease pain. Enhancing proper timing and activation of muscles will help you restore your body’s control, and heal more efficiently.
Exercise improves muscle strength, flexibility, and overall aerobic endurance. SOL PTs are exceptionally skilled at designing exercise programs based on your specific diagnosis, dysfunctions, and rehab goals. With each treatment session, you’ll progress to more advanced exercises that address your functional limitations. You’ll also be trusted to perform your exercises at home, so your time in PT can be spent on more challenging activities that require supervision and instruction.
Enhanced Mind+Body awareness can actually help you control the pain that your brain experiences in your body. For example, if you are being distracted or more interested in something besides your pain, your brain will lessen the pain. Conversely, the more you worry and think about your pain, the more your brain will increase your sense of it. Your SOL Physical Therapist will help you to better understand your pain, giving you the ability to control and reduce it.
