Patients at SNPT & Wellness typically receive the following manual treatments, depending on their specific needs: STM, MFR, TPR, SCS, MET/joint mobilizations, IASTM, MFD/cupping, neural mobilizations, assisted stretching, and others.
In addition to manual therapy-based PT, SNPT & Wellness therapists recommend holistic healthcare approaches to optimize the patient’s healing journey. Examples of holistic well-being and health advice are recommendations for dietary/lifestyle changes, sleep hygiene, herbs, and supplements.
