Dry Needling
It consists on a technique of physiotherapeutic treatment for Myofascial Trigger Points (MTPs) or contractures. A MTPs is a hyperirritable nodule located in a taut palpable band formed within muscle fibers.
Manual Therapy:
Techniques of Manual Therapy and massage are the basis of the treatment of pain and dysfunctions of the body. They are procedures applied manually and / or instrumentally and are based on the most available scientific evidence.
R.U.S.I. Technique:
The R.U.S.I. (Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging) is a technique of assessment and evaluation that uses the ultrasound as the main tool to detect disorders in soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments …) in an accurate and scientific way.
Myofascial treatment:
Simultaneous process of evaluation and treatment in which, through sustained movements and pressures, applied directly to the fascial system, the liberation of the restrictions of the myofascial system can be achieved in order to recover the functional balance of the body.
Manual lymphatic drainage
Manual technique by which we make an assessment process of the lymph. It consists of manipulations aimed to activation of interstitial fluid and lymph movements through the lymphatic vessels.
Motor control and therapeutic exercise:
Movement is defined as the ability of a living being to move through its environment without any difficulty. In relation to motor control and exercise, two important aspects must be considered: the control applied to the maintenance of posture and balance and the control applied to a specific movement.
Osteopathy
Therapeutic system that is based on the diagnosis and treatment of the morphological and mechanical alterations of the organism. It places a major emphasis on structural integrity; ie, on bones, muscles, joints and connective tissue; as its alteration can cause consecuences at any level.
Treatment of TMJ
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is responsible for the movement of the mandible and its most frequent alteration is the temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome, which is caused by a malfunction of the structures that make up the joint and that provoke its movement.
Neurodynamia
The nerves tend to suffer from limitations of mobility, either because of an intrinsic cause (inability to adapt elastically to movement or posture) or extrinsic (alteration of the relation of the nerve to the structures that surround it: muscles, fascia, ligaments, bone, etc.).
Electrotherapy:
Part of the physiotherapy that, through electrical stimuli seeks to generate a physiological response in the body, contributing in those pathological processes that produce pain and favoring the repair and regeneration responses of the injured tissues. The currents used may be low, medium or high frequency and according to the parameters selected therapeutic objective will be different.
- Among the most used currents in the physiotherapeutic field,
- Galvanic currents.
- Diadinamic currents.
- Interference currents.
- TENS (electrostimulation).
- Currents of Träbert.
- High voltage currents.
- Ultrasound.
PHYSIOTHERAPY THERAPIES IN CHILDREN’S AGE:
Child physiotherapy: assesses the child as a whole, observing what his motor deficits are and working with him and his family to get closer, as far as possible, to normal kinesiological development.
Vojta Therapy: Vojta Therapy is a physiotherapy method that is used in infants, children, adolescents and adults who have central nervous system disorders and motor and postural disorders. It consists in provoking induced muscular movements after the stimulation of specific neuromuscular receptors, which causes an immobile arm to begin to move.
Osteopathy: treats the human being in a global way, as a whole, restoring the disturbed equilibrium through manual techniques directed to any of the affected tissues, be they of the musculoskeletal, visceral, nervous system, etc. It is a manual therapy that helps to alleviate, correct and recover musculoskeletal injuries and organic pathologies.
