Manual Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain

Injury to soft tissue (muscle, tendon, or ligament) leads to inflammation and the creation of scar tissue and adhesions. Scar tissue occurring as a result of sudden trauma serves to stabilize and protect the area from further injury, however it can also cause a great deal of pain and stiffness and become it’s own chronic condition. Adhesions and scar tissue can also form in the soft tissue as a result of chronic strain, such as in the forearms with computer use and manual labor or in the upper back due to postural weakness and tense neck and shoulders. Using a combination of manual therapy, joint and soft tissue mobilization, and manual resistive techniques, Hendrickson Method® is a highly effective way to heal pain and injury, and restore alignment in the musculoskeletal system.

Here is a list of some of the more common issues I treat:

• low back and hip pain and injury

• neck pain and injury

• spinal disc injuries and degeneration

• headaches/migraine

• sciatica

• nerve entrapments

• arthritis

• tendonitis

• plantar fasciitis

• frozen shoulder

• rotator cuff strain

• postural tension and related dysfunction

• whiplash

• TMJ/TMD

• pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pain

• foot/ankle conditions such as neuromas, plantar fasciitis, and achilles tendonitis

• scar tissue resulting from surgery
