Hot & Cold
Hot and cold are modalities that help reduce pain and muscle spasms. These treatments speed up the healing process when appropriately applied. But avoid using extreme heat and ice directly on the skin.
The best time to use a cold pack is 3-5 days after an injury. It helps reduce swelling and inflammation. You start using hot compress when you need to increase blood flow for better healing. It is also indicated to soften your tissue for easier manipulation.
Hot prepares you for efficient manual therapy and exercise to enhance movement. Cold helps you to cool down after activity and reduce the effect of muscle soreness.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy is the use of sound energy to treat soft tissue problems. The sound waves move the molecules to improve circulation. This treatment reduces pain and swelling after an injury.
When the tissues are healing well, it provides deep heating to increase blood flow. The heat loosens and relaxes the muscles so you can stretch it easier.
Ultrasound treatment enhances the effect of manual therapy and exercises. It helps you maximize the benefit of doing physical therapy. Our goal is to give you the best care for you to recover fast.

Our Experience
Therapy modalities are always part of our treatment. We make sure that pain is less before we start manual therapy and exercises.
After an injury, reducing pain and swelling is the top priority. Our focus is to prevent more complications. We use cold with electrical stimulation.
When the condition is more stable, we begin using hot compresses with ultrasound to enhance the healing process. We follow it up with light massages to loosen soft tissues then light exercises.
During the late stage of healing, we continue using heat and ultrasound to prepare the deep tissues. Treatments include myofascial & trigger point releases and functional training.
Our ultimate goal of using modalities is to speed up your recovery and live pain-free.
