Myofascial Pain can be generated from the skeletal muscle connective tissues that are ‘bound down’ by tight fascia or can also be generated from damaged myofascial tissue itself, sometimes at a ‘trigger point’ where a contraction of muscle fibers has occurred. In either case, the restriction or contraction inhibits blood flow to the affected structures, thus accentuating the contraction process further unless the area is treated.
Myofascial release (MFR) therapy focuses on releasing muscular shortness and tightness. There are a number of conditions and symptoms that myofascial release therapy addresses.
Many patients seek myofascial treatment after losing flexibility or function following an injury or if experiencing ongoing back, shoulder, hip, or virtually pain in any area containing soft tissue.
Conditions that we use this technique are: Muscle Tightness/ Soreness, Trigger Points, Neuromuscular Tightness, Sciatica, Frozen Shoulder, Calf Pain etc.

Manual Therapy or Mobilisation is a technique used in Physiotherapy to help in reducing impairment and any malalignment that may have caused due to Trauma, Repetitive strains and Degenerative changes. Physiofit provides its patients with appropriate techniques to help patients recover faster. The Mobilisation principles that we use are:
Mckenzie, Cyriax, Kaltenborne, Maitland, Movement Impairment training etc.

Kinetic Control is a technique which determines uncontrolled movement of major joints of our body. A thorough assessment, diagnosis and a comprehensive clinical reasoning will be carried out to evaluate the factors responsible for the problems. Each movement are carried out in different ways to perform any functional task (e.g picking up glass of water from floor) by using different group of muscles.
Patients often have symptoms like Pain, Paraethesias, Weakness, Stiffness, Instability, Numbness, Heaviness, Tingling sensations, hot cold, nausea etc. All of these symptoms are often linked with movement dysfunction or uncontrolled movement and hence identifying classifying these movement faults is essential. At Physiofit, our Physiotherapist are trained for this technique of using specific Task Based Exercises.
