Structural Therapies
1. Soft Tissue Mobilization
After you have an injury, scar tissues form as a normal body reaction. If there is no intervention given on the scar tissues, they usually become more dense and thicker as the time passes, and ultimately they may become calcified, degenerate, and arthritic. This scar tissue produces pain, decreased range of motion, decreased muscle and tendon contractility and extensibility, therefore it leads to a re-injury redisposition. The goal of soft tissue mobilization is to break down, repair, and remodel scar tissue, and to restore the original function.

2. Gait Scan™ & Custom Maid Foot Orthotics
Gait Scan™ is a computerized pressure place that is attached to a computer. This technology assists us in analyzing your gait and detecting unusual foot function may be affecting the rest of your body.

SCAN YOUR FEET
As you walk across the plate, thousands of tiny sensors capture the distribution of pressure throughout the sole of your feet.
