 The Stress is multifactorial.

【Assessment】 1 90% of your treatment plan depends on the assessment. Starting from ① asking your injury history, ②checking range of motion(ROM) ③ stress test and manual muscle test which help your compensatory movement pattern (Educated by Neuromuscular Kinetic Therapy). 

【Mobility 】 2 Our Soft Tissue Mobilization is the key to help your problem. Virolation, elongation, and pressure stimulation make your soft tissue mobile, soften and lubricate the joints to decrease stress level throughout the days. This phase varies from person to person usually 3 weeks to months. ・Intrumental Assited Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) 

soft tissue get damaged even in the daily activities and diminish the function without proper recovery. When you have injured, muscles around injured site get tighten to prevent further damage for defensive mechanism that lead to decreased local blood flow.

 ・Floss band ・Massage gun Muscles which are over-facilitated should be the target to mobilize.Provide high level of vibration which increase blood circulation and muscular slide among the muscles, and ligaments. 

【control】 3 once you get new range of motion, you need to control the joint smoothly. In this phase, you will be asked easy slow isolated movement without compensation. People tend to use wrong several muscles and joints becuse of your old movement pattern, map-alignmen of joints, or soft tissue restrictions during movement but activation of right muscle at right timing should be needed to maximaze your performance. May give you some home exercises program.
