 Traditional soft tissue mobilization enhances muscle and fascial pliability through mobility and blood flow. It also decreases pain and sensitivity.  Soft tissue mobilization can range from active release to deep tissue work and cupping. 

 Strengthening is used to enhance what the musculoskeletal system is designed to do. Exercises can be tailored to help recover function loss after injury, enhance athletic performance, or to prevent further joint deterioration 

 Acupuncture needles placed directly into painful or dysfunctional tissue increases your own blood perfusion to the area and excites trigger points for a deeper muscle release and improvement in myofascial pain. 

 Joint mobility and stretching can be performed with manual assistance or with active movement. This improves joint range of motion and flexibility for enhanced athletic performance and ability to perform daily tasks. 

BFR is utilized in early stages of rehab when minimizing muscle atrophy while preserving surgical integrity is paramount. It is an evidence-backed intervention that not only helps minimize muscle loss but aides in rebuilding muscle mass. 

The use of NMES after injury and surgery aides in re-educating your nervous system how to activate your muscle again. Performing exercises with the use of NMES allows for recruitment of more muscle fibers than just exercise alone.
