A technique that uses negative pressure to relax muscles and increase blood flow to the targeted area. Cupping therapy is mainly used to relieve muscle pain, such as in the neck and lower back, to manage sports injuries, reduce muscle tension, and aid recovery after intense exercise.
A technique in which specialized Kinetic Flossing bands are applied to the affected limb/joint (e.g., thigh or arm) to restrict venous return while maintaining arterial inflow during exercise. Restricted blood flow creates metabolic accumulation and increased muscle fiber recruitment, even with low loads or no weights. The goal is muscle strengthening and hypertrophy, prevention of muscle atrophy, improved endurance, and faster return to functional activities. It is used in post-operative rehabilitation, injuries, joints with limited load tolerance, or in patients unable to lift heavy weights.
Dry needling is a modern technique used in physiotherapy to treat musculoskeletal problems, mainly muscle pain. The method is based on the insertion of very fine needles into the skin, specifically into points in the muscle with increased tension and sensitivity (trigger points) that are associated with pain and dysfunction. The aim of dry needling is to relax muscle fibers, reduce pain, and restore the normal function of the muscle.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization using specialized stainless-steel tools from the ERGON Technique, designed to adapt to the anatomical curves of the body. This allows precise detection and treatment of myofascial adhesions and fibrosis. The technique is applied based on advanced clinical training, including completion of both Basic and Advanced certification courses. It combines static and dynamic manipulations aimed at immediate pain reduction, increased tissue elasticity, and improved joint range of motion. Its application accelerates the healing process, offering an effective, non-invasive solution for faster return to daily activities. The combined application of IASTM with TECAR therapy is another specialized tool available at Therapis Physiotherapy Center. Targeted soft tissue mobilization is enhanced through deep endogenous radiofrequency heat, significantly accelerating metabolic activity and tissue regeneration for both immediate and long-lasting therapeutic results.
Therapeutic exercise is a fundamental pillar of modern physiotherapy and is supported by international organizations such as World Physiotherapy as a primary intervention for musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory, and chronic conditions. It goes beyond simply prescribing exercises; it represents a holistic approach that promotes patient engagement, education on the importance of exercise, and empowerment in self-management. Individualized exercise programs are created according to each patient’s needs to retrain movement patterns and reduce kinesiophobia (fear of movement).
Kinesiotaping is a widely used technique in physiotherapy that involves the application of elastic therapeutic tape to the skin in order to support and improve the function of muscles and joints. The tape is specially designed to mimic the elasticity of the skin, allowing a full range of motion without restriction. When applied correctly, it creates a slight lifting of the skin, which may help improve blood and lymphatic circulation, as well as reduce pressure on the underlying tissues.
