It works with the body’s natural healing processes to offer patients significant and sustained long-term relief and enhanced mobility.

FIMS technique is an internationally recognized treatment modality that is being practiced by the medical professionals around the world.

Proprioceptors inside the muscle, tendons, and ligaments play important role in motor function, including joint movements and posture maintenance. When these proprioceptors get damaged due to repetitive injury, stressful exercises, and improper posture/gait, daily body movements become restricted and body tissues start to degenerate at a faster rate. This triggers inflammation at specific body parts resulting in pain.

Pre-existing treatments only focus on eliminating pain by chemical injection or reconstructing local structure, often accompanied with further degeneration. These types of treatments might reduce pain in short term, but in reality, the injury is progressing. Inflammation is often painful, but it’s a vital process in regeneration of injured tissue. Simply inhibiting inflammation (often pain) only disturbs recovery, moreover, accelerates degeneration of surrounding tissues.

*Proprioceptors are nerves that sense the body position, movement, and force, meaning that these nerves tell us where our body parts are and what they are doing without looking at them, and what forces are acting upon our body at any given time

The origin of pain can be located outside the area where you feel pain.

Muscles are controlled by the nerve signals received from the neural circuits created between the brain and spinal cord.

Proprioceptors are located within the muscles and tendons.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy focuses on the restoration of weakened muscle and ligament functionality. This therapy is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from chronic pain or injuries that limit their mobility, helping them regain strength and function through hands-on techniques.

Our therapists are trained to deliver targeted therapies that alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore movement to contracted joints, enabling patients to return to their daily lives with renewed vigor. Whether you’re dealing with musculoskeletal issues or recovering from a severe injury, manual therapy is the cornerstone of your rehabilitation journey.

Exercise Therapy

Exercise therapy emphasizes the importance of proper movement and posture in the healing process. Our approach to exercise therapy is rooted in the belief that the primary treatment occurs within the patient’s own body, supported by our expert guidance.
