Active Therapeutic Movement
Pain-Free Rehabilitation
One treatment alternative offered exclusively by Total Rehab in this area is Active Therapeutic Movement - an integrated passive/active intervention with very impressive documented outcomes. The passive component immobilizes a body region until the related pain is reduced to zero, and the movement impairment becomes pain-free. Then the active component is commenced in the form of short-range resisted movements towards the previously impaired movements. This unique integrated passive/active intervention enables neuromuscular training towards the functional impairment while in the pain-free environment. Immediate results are expected, and outcomes data are remarkable. Of course this is only one treatment option and will not apply to every patient.
