Blood Flow Restriction Training
Blood Flow Restriction, or “BFR,” is a type of therapy that allows patients to increase muscle size and strength with lighter loads than traditional strength training. Our skilled physical therapists apply pressure to the patient’s limb using an external device (similar to a blood pressure cuff) to limit oxygen supply to the muscle, which causes the body to switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism.
Functional Dry Needling
Dry needling is a skilled intervention that uses a fine needle or Acupuncture needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuro-musculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. This technique is used to treat dysfunction in skeletal muscle, fascia, and connective tissue to diminish persistent peripheral nociceptive input.
Cold Laser
Laser therapy uses light to favor and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. The light energy enters the damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity which reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the damaged cells.
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), is a modality used to increase motor unit recruitment of an affected muscle. NMES is most commonly utilized on the quadriceps muscle following knee surgery, but other common applications include the calf, hamstrings, shoulder, and glutes.
Strength Training
Whether you are recovering from surgery, are looking to improve athletic performance, or trying to improve function with daily tasks, it is likely that you will require improved muscle strength and function. As part of your treatment at Kinetic Energy PT, our therapists will incorporate an individualized exercise program to ensure you are progressing muscle strength and performance appropriately to meet your goals.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on approach to joint and soft tissue dysfunction for complete restoration of function and pain relief. In the state of Colorado, physical therapists are able to perform joint mobilization as well as manipulation as indicated with appropriate training. All of our therapists are educated and experienced in manual therapy techniques sharing a common philosophy in evidence based practice.
