You may remember from our previous blog posts, our staff has been busy taking courses to learn a manual therapy technique known as "myofascial decompression". This technique utilizes the application of a cup to apply negative pressure to a muscle, while simultaenously retraining the muscle with neuromuscular and movement-science based techniques. Myofascial decompression allows us to not just address the symptom, but address the movement inefficiencies that affect the overall biomechanics of the joint. At Family Physical Therapy, we have been implementing this technique with our manual therapy and movement interventions at our Roseville, Auburn, and our Next Level Sports Performance clinics in order to help patients and athletes gain mobility, retrain their muscles, and and enhance their movement and function!  Myofascial decompression allows us to not just address the symptom, but address the movement inefficiencies that affect the overall biomechanics of the joint. After completing the Advanced Myofascial Decompression courses, practitioners have the option to sit for the Myofascial Decompression Certification exam. At Family Physical Therapy, we are committed to furthering our staff education to continue to stay on top of the latest research and techniques. We would like to congratulate Kirsten Carmichael, PT, DPT, CSCS, MFDc and Ila Suplizio PT, DPT, MFDc on attaining the new accolade of the myofascial decompression certified credentials.

I remember I wanted to take up Physical or Occupational Therapy but I doubt if I can use it to pursue medical school so I lost interest. I felt I made the wrong decision. I was late to realize that this may really be my passion and that I cannot function anywhere else. This is where I am good at. I believe it's never too late to continue my studies. No one can tell anyone that they should not go back to school. I am going to be a doctor someday and I am going to take up Physical Therapy. Leave a Reply. |
