- Manual Therapy
- AST and OSPT therapists provide skilled manual therapy when providing treatment to each patient's impairments and limitations. Joint and soft tissue mobilization techniques include muscle energy, mobilization with movement and strain-counterstrain.
Graston Technique® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions.
