What Happens in a Treatment?
MPT has several techniques that are done concurrently:
- Points, soft tissue adhesions and tight and tender muscle knots are released by ETPS microcurrent.
- Using Positional Tuina
- The practitioner manually stretches muscles and joints
- Treatment muscles are actively stretched or contracted by positioning the patient
- Treatment muscles are also engaged with a gentle contraction by the patient
