Mount Carmel Physical Therapy Center offers new treatment

 

Mount Carmel Physical Therapy Center is pleased to announce the recent certification of Emy Adamos, OTR/L, CHT and Edwin Chu, PTA in IASTM ( Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization ) in Oklahoma City last month.

IASTM is a type of manual therapy treatment technique that involves the use of a specially designed stainless steel instrument to treat soft tissue dysfunctions.

The effects of IASTM include pain relief, increased flexibility and range of motion, and enhances recovery.

“When combined with corrective exercises, we get the brain to develop neuroplasticity with the new found range, and the brain thinks of it as normal motion,” Emy said.

IASTM can be use to treat plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinitis, IT band syndrome, shin splints, pain in back, hip, knee, neck or shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, DeQuervain’s Tenosynovitis, tennis elbow, and scars ( surgical or traumatic).

Emy said: “This technique can help in reducing tone/tension and adhesions/restrictions, improving mobility and therefore function.”

The clinic sees many fibromyalgia and back pain patients.

Edwin said: “ IASTM helps me detect and treat myofascial restrictions to improve range of motion, decrease pain, enhancing movement and function. IASTM is one way to “trick” the nervous system to decrease the pain and improve the way the patient moves.

Henry and Emy Adamos are the owners of Mount Carmel Physical Therapy Center which opened three years ago. Emy is an occupational therapist with an additional training as a certified hand therapist.

Edwin Chu, PTA joined the clinic in 2015. Edwin has an extensive background in out-patient therapy and aquatic therapy.

Mount Carmel Physical Therapy Center was recently voted second in the Harrison Daily Times Best of the Best therapy clinics. “We are very appreciate of our customers. Thank you for voting for us.”
