A technique used for the treatment of pain, muscle tension and movement impairments.  The technique uses a thin filiform “dry” needle, one without medication, that penetrates the skin to stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points as well as muscular and connective tissues. A trigger point is a taut band of skeletal muscle located within a larger muscle group. Trigger points can be tender to the touch, and touching a trigger point may cause pain to other parts of the body, also known as referred pain (as shown below). The needle allows a physical therapist to target tissues that are not manually palpable. Dry needling can help speed up the recovery process of healing muscles and connective tissues.

Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

Cupping has been popular in Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures going back thousands of years, but increasing numbers of people worldwide have been adopting it.

Cupping encourages blood flow which improves circulation to promote healing and reduce pain. 

Some (but not all) benefits of cupping are:

• Release scar tissue and fascial adhesions
• Reduce painful trigger points
• Improve circulation, blood and lymph circulation
• Relieve pain
• Promote mobility and range of motion
• Decrease toxins
• Alleviate Headaches/Migraines 

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue: a skilled intervention that includes the use of specialized tools to manipulate the skin, myofascia, muscles, and tendons by various direct compressive stroke techniques
