Manual Therapy and Medical Training – Aleksandra Tasarek Fizjoterapia

Manual therapy and medical training

A holistic treatment method, which involves affecting soft tissues: skin, fascial system under the skin, muscles, tendons, as well as the joint system (and indirectly other systems) by performing various techniques: from oscillation, stretching, hooking, rubbing to mobilization and manipulation, etc. A series of manual treatments are aimed at releasing and loosening tissues, taking into account the individual movement patterns of a given person, so that as a result the patient “feels and understands” which pattern is more beneficial for him and when he is able to use optimal energy to perform it.

We treat:

Medical training

Individually tailored to each patient, taking into account the history of diseases/injuries, designed in an appropriate way so that the body functions in an integrated and as balanced way as possible.

It contains the following elements in the appropriate order:
– teaching correct propriceptioception and interoception
– building stabilization (with or without the use of equipment)
– strengthening stabilization in dynamics (i.e. effective stabilization of one part of the body in order to move the other in the appropriate range of motion)
– adding load in the already learned correct patterns above
– training power (speed under load)
In the final stage, all of the above elements are used on a daily basis already habitatively.

Other types of therapy

Facial massage

It is a new way of working on “releasing” fascia (connective tissue surrounding our body from the inside) by stimulating motor reactions of our body that are not subject to our will. It consists of global (or local) positioning of segments in a block (maximum integration of segments) until tissue oscillation (“pandiculation”) is achieved and then its relaxation.

Combination with other fascial techniques can result in:
– reduction of pain and faster tissue regeneration
– increase of blood flow through tissues
– normalization of muscle function in extension
– improves range of motion in joints (mobility)
– reduces the general effects of fatigue and stress in everyday life

Effect:
– reduces pain and accelerates tissue regeneration
– improves the range of motion in joints (mobility)
– reduces the general effects of fatigue and stress on a daily basis

Manual lymphatic drainage

There are currently many massage devices that help improve the flow of
Lymphatic fluid in the body. However, the touch of the hands and the awareness and sensitivity of the therapist actually significantly increase the response and effect of this treatment.

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage of the skin and subcutaneous tissues (including fascia), which helps to move excess accumulated fluid (lymph) caused by its stagnation in various parts of the body and causing them to swell. The drained fluid is moved with rhythmic movements to the lymph nodes, which function properly and filter it further into the body. As a result, the overall treatment reduces swelling and thus restores the mobility of individual body segments.
It is especially recommended after injuries / long-term immobilization, when fluids in the body cannot move properly. In “healthy” people, it improves elasticity and firms the body.

Effect :

– reduces swelling
– restores mobility of individual body segments
– improves elasticity and firms the body.

Belly massage

Therapy focused on prevention and general improvement of the functioning of the internal organs of the abdominal cavity using various, delicate techniques – pressure, rubbing, work on the fascia of the superficial abdominal muscles (including the diaphragm of the iliopsoas muscle lying the deepest).

Additionally, exercises reminding us of proper breathing during the day, help us become aware of possible stress and the lifestyle in which we function every day. Massage helps to relax and unwind and also focus more on our “inside”. Effect:
– increased blood flow through tissues and organs
– normalization of muscle function in extension (restoring the correct relationship between the abdomen and back)
– relief and relaxation (to focus more on your own “inside”)
