Physiotherapy
Stretching is used to relax and lengthen muscles and fascia. Dr. Armen uses a variety of stretching methods in the office and as part of your active care regimen. Typically, dynamic or active stretches are prescribed for use before activity and passive stretches are recommended after activity. Foam rollers are used to perform self massage and release tight and overactive areas.
Dr. Armen prescribes specific exercises that will help correct your imbalance or dysfunction. After a thorough movement and orthopedic assessment, Dr. Armen will have an immediate recommended action plan on where to begin with exercises. The exercises usually start with inhibiting tight and overactive areas, then stretches, activation and strengthening procedures and finally integrative movements designed to be functionally restorative and corrective.
