At Greater Therapy Centers we utilize several types of therapy techniques aimed at helping patients recover from pain. Manual therapy also referred to as manipulative therapy is a hands-on technique to relieve pain and improve range of motion in muscles and joints. Instead of utilizing a machine or device our physical therapists use their hands to apply pressure to particular muscles. This method is used to help decrease pain caused by muscle spasm or joint dysfunction.
Manual therapy helps to restore motion to joints that have been otherwise limited in mobility due to pain. Manipulation, massage and mobilization are three common forms of manual therapy. With manipulation therapy a licensed physical therapist uses their hands or a small tool to manipulate your muscles and soft tissue to help alleviate pain. Massage therapy is similar to manipulation however it involves working the knots and kinks out of your soft tissues. For mobilization a physical therapist works on loosening up the joint causing pain. This is done by moving the joint slowly while increasing the distance of movement directly into the barrier of a joint.
Manual Therapy is used to treat these conditions:
Headaches
Low back pain
Neck pain
Joint pain
Sports related injuries
Is manual therapy safe?
Yes. Manual therapy performed by licensed physical therapists is a safe and effective treatment options for people suffering from pain associated with injuries to the muscles, joint and soft tissue.

Have you noticed the colorful tape applied in different patterns on many professional and collegiate athletes? Kinesiology taping is not just a way to show team colors – it has function. Used as an adjunctive treatment for various orthopedic injuries and disorders, kinesiology tape – which can stretch more than 100% of its original length – allows much greater range of motion than traditional white athletic tape. It can also be left on for longer periods of time (up to 4 days) before reapplication is needed. Kinesiology tape is designed to mimic the skin’s elastic properties and, properly applied, helps alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, relax muscles, enhance performance, and can facilitate rehabilitation, along with supporting muscles during athletic activities.
Kinesiology Taping Explained…
First, it’s best to consult with a certified professional trained in kinesiology taping to assess your needs and goals. Evaluation by an athletic trainer or physical therapist in necessary to help identify any underlying causes of injury, discomfort, muscle tension, or other issues that might need to be addressed with other treatment modalities, along with corrective exercises.
Before applying kinesiology tape, the certified professional ensures that the patient’s skin is clean and free of oils, sweat, and lotions. Otherwise, the tape will lose its adhesive abilities. Correct tension is also key to success with kinesiology taping. Once applied, the practitioner rubs the tape to activate the heat-sensitive glue.
Small amounts of body hair will not interfere with the effectiveness or adhesion of the tape. However, areas with significant amounts of hair should be shaved for best results and to decrease discomfort during tape removal.
How Do I Maintain the Tape Once It’s Been Applied?
During the first few days, if an edge of the tape has begun to lift, it can be trimmed. Rounding the edges before application can help prevent the edges from lifting prematurely. To dry tape after exercising, swimming, or showering, pat gently with a towel.
Can I Apply Kinesiology Tape Myself?
This isn’t recommended. It’s essential to apply the tape with the correct degree of tension. If too much tension is applied, the effects are diminished. It’s better to have too little tension than too much. This is why it is important to have a certified professional trained in kinesiology taping techniques apply your tape – and only after a qualified healthcare provider has evaluated your condition.

Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This technique dates back more than 2,000 years but has received recent attention due to its use by world-class athletes for injury relief.
How Does Cupping Work?
It’s believed that the effect of suction on the skin helps increase blood flow and promotes an optimal environment for healing. Researchers have concluded that cupping can be effective in treating the pain and disability associated with chronic neck pain and chronic low-back pain in the short term.
Cupping is generally safe for healthy people when performed by one of our trained healthcare professionals. Some mild and temporary side effects, such as bruising and soreness, can occur.
Cupping is a helpful complementary treatment for some. Before initiating treatment, our clinical professional will discuss your health history and treatment goals with you to determine if cupping is a good option for you.
Call us today at 714-633-7227 for more information and to schedule your cupping session.

Falls and fear of falling in our senior population are recognized public health crises.
According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in older adults by a wide margin. Each year, more than two million seniors experience a fall severe enough to necessitate emergency medical treatment. This number along with the associated personal and societal costs of falling is expected to rise as our population ages. Despite these grim statistics, many falls are preventable with professional interventions that address the causes of falling in older adults.
Our expert clinicians are trained in evidence-based interventions that are proven by controlled clinical trials to effectively reduce the number of falls in older adults.
There are other factors that also contribute to falls. Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, vestibular disorders, and neuropathy also increase fall risk. Our therapy team is well equipped to address the problems of falling and the fear of falling in individuals living with these conditions.
The ankle is a weight-bearing joints and one of the most commonly injured joints in the body. Ankle sprains account for approximately 1 million visits to the emergency room each year in the United States.
Physical therapy can be an effective treatment for ankle injuries and other conditions that affect the foot and ankle.
We use a variety of treatments to help their patients recover from foot and ankle injuries, including:
Exercise: Exercise is an important part of treatment for foot and ankle injuries. Podiatrists may prescribe specific exercises to strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the joint.
Manual Therapy: Manual therapy techniques, such as massage and joint mobilization, can help to reduce pain and swelling.
Modalities: Modalities, such as heat or ice, can also be used to treat foot and ankle injuries.
Bracing and Orthotics: In some cases, podiatrists may prescribe braces or orthotics to support the joints and muscles.
Occupational therapy takes a holistic approach to care through addressing the clinical conditions of a patient and recommending habits and home adaptations to help them participate more fully in day-to-day life. Just like Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists develop a plan of care to help patients with specific goals.
Conditions we treat include but are not limited to:
Orthopedic and sports injuries
Hand therapy
Pre/post-surgical rehabilitation
Neurologic conditions
Work injuries
Auto accident injuries
Home safety evaluations
The benefits of occupational therapy include:
Relief of pain and muscle spasms
Improved mobility and increased range of motion
Improved function with Activities of Daily Living (ADL's)
