Scar tissue (adhesions) from surgery or injury.Range of motion physical therapy counters the factors potentially limiting movement, including: Range of motion physical therapy exercise refers to activity aimed at improving movement of a specific joint. The knee is more simple because it has 1 degree of freedom, and it bends and straightens the way it is supposed to or it doesn’t. A joint like the shoulder is complex because it has 3 degrees of freedom, meaning that it moves in 3 different movement planes. Influencing this motion are numerous structures: bone surface configuration within the joint, joint capsule, ligaments, tendons, muscles and fascia acting on the joint. In practical terms the question range of motion physical therapy addresses is, “Does the joint move the way it was designed to?” Range of motion physical therapy is the measurement of the amount of movement around a specific joint or body part, defined as the normal degrees of motion for a particular joint. If you are suffering from a limited range of motion due to an injury or just day-to-day stress on the body, please contact me as soon as possible for the best results. Studies have shown that the earlier range of motion therapy techniques are applied for patients, the greater the gain in total muscle and joint range of motion are. Gentle hands-on stretching, joint mobilizations and myofascial release techniques can improve the pain and stiffness associated with range of motion injuries. Range of motion physical therapy can be achieved through hands-on techniques and therapeutic exercises. I provide range of motion physical therapy for patients who have suffered injuries, are in pain or conditions limiting their range. Our range of motion is vital to our daily lives, which is why range of motion is so important to maintain. This lack of range of motion contributes to pain, stiffness, loss of proper muscle function, problems with daily movement and hinders working out. Connective tissues surrounding joints (ie: fascia, ligaments, muscles and tendons) are often shortened due to trauma. Many times when we are injured or in pain, we lose the extent of our range of motion.
