Manual Physiotherapy Treatments

Manual physiotherapy treatments are hands-on therapies that involve direct physical contact, where the physiotherapist uses their hands or non-mechanical tools to manipulate muscles, joints, and soft tissues, focusing on physical manipulation for therapeutic effect.

Manual physiotherapy treatments offered by Deluxe In Dubai are detailed below.

Massage

Professional massage therapy can help alleviate muscle tightness, enhance circulation, speed up recovery after injury or surgery by relieving muscle spasms, and increase blood flow to the affected areas.

Trigger Point Release

A trigger point is an extremely sensitive neuromuscular spot or area that can cause pain to radiate to different body parts, lead to muscle spasms, and limit the range of motion. Using a variety of techniques, physiotherapy can help to alleviate trigger points.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial is connective tissue located in and around muscles that can become restricted due to injury, overuse, or inactivity, resulting in pain, tension, and reduced blood flow. Myofascial release is a slow, effective physiotherapy technique for releasing muscle tension, breaking up scar tissue, and restoring balance and function. It can also prevent injury by maintaining flexibility and range of movement.

Range of Motion Exercises

Range of motion refers to a joint’s movement from its fully flexed position to its completely extended position. We perform these physiotherapy exercises to prevent muscle waste and maintain or increase strength.

Joint Mobilisation

The joint mobilisation technique aims to physically affect a joint. Physiotherapy enhances your animal’s full range of motion in their joints by flexing, extending, and stretching them. This can ease movement, reduce stiffness, decrease joint pain, and increase functionality.

Joint Manipulation

When joints are too stiff or unresponsive to mobilisation techniques, physiotherapists use joint manipulation, an advanced form of joint mobilisation. It involves the physiotherapist carefully positioning the joint and applying a gentle thrust to restore full movement.

Stretching Exercises

Stretching exercises promote muscle and tendons lengthening, helping to normalise muscle length and tension ratios. These exercises are highly beneficial for enhancing range of motion, reducing scar tissue adhesions, improving elasticity, and providing effective pain relief for muscles that are short, tight, stiff, or sore.

Soft Tissue Mobilisation

Soft tissue mobilisation can aid in muscle relaxation, facilitate healing, and reduce scar tissue by helping to eliminate waste products from the affected region, accelerating the healing process.

Hawk Grips Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation is a treatment method in human physiotherapy that is gaining popularity among clinicians worldwide. IASTM entails the skillful use of precision metal instruments to relieve adhesions and scar tissue.

These tools allow:

  • Quicker detection of restrictions in soft tissue
  • Quicker and easier break up of tissue densities
  • Reductions in scar tissue
  • Significant increases in range of motion
  • Treatment of acute and chronic conditions
  • Decreased pain for patient

The Hawk Grip tools can be used to treat:

  • Myofascial pain
  • Trigger point release
  • Scar tissue and adhesions, such as mature post-surgical scarring
  • Oedema reduction, such as acute swelling and lymphoedema
  • Ligament pain

Veterinary Kinesiology

Veterinary kinesiology aims to aid, support, and accelerate the body’s natural recovery by applying a variety of specific taping techniques to various areas. The main objective is to enhance the animal’s body condition without relying on chemicals or pharmaceuticals.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a complementary treatment to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being. By stimulating specific points on the animal’s body with fine needles, acupuncture helps to release natural pain-relieving chemicals, improve blood circulation, and reduce inflammation. In horses, it is often used to treat musculoskeletal issues, joint problems, or stiffness, while in dogs, it can be effective for conditions such as arthritis, neurological disorders, and chronic pain. This minimally invasive technique supports conventional treatments, providing a holistic approach to animal rehabilitation.
