What happens during physical therapy?

Your first Physical Therapy session at Mobilize Physical Therapy is an evaluation which involves listening to your health history, watching you move, evaluating your posture, testing your strength, and other tests that your Therapist deems appropriate. We will then work with you to design an individualized treatment plan. Your treatment plan may include one or more of the following types of therapy:

Exercise prescriptions

Your Physical Therapist prescribes personalized at-home exercises for you to complete between visits in order to help correct muscle imbalances and restore function.

Manual therapy

Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques your therapist uses to decrease pain, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion in stiff muscles and joints. We might use stretching, massage, or soft tissue and joint mobilization.

Augmented soft tissue mobilization

Augmented soft tissue mobilization, including ASTYM® and Graston Technique®, is a therapy technique in which your therapist uses instruments to reduce unwanted scar tissue and promote tissue healing.
