Treatment begins by formulating a
plan that is individualized for each person and is developed based
on a thorough evaluation, according to their needs and goals.
The evaluation can be extensive starting with a comprehensive
objective examination, which may include…muscle testing, range of
motion, posture evaluation, gait evaluation and functional movement
patterns, as well as sport specific evaluations. Biomechanical
evaluations can address leg length discrepancies, abnormal gait
patterns and foot abnormalities, and as well as postural deficits.
Treatment plans may include a home exercise program, balance and gait
training, pool therapy, and strengthening using gym equipment as well as home
products. The plan may require manual therapy techniques, which can be used for
addressing strength deficits and muscle tightness. Manual therapy is hands on
treatment techniques, such as positional release, muscle energy techniques,
contract-relax and acupressure. Treatment for biomechanical problems may
include Orthotics, addressing postural deficits, strengthening and stretching.
