Combined Physical Therapy Treatments for Comprehensive Care in Worcester, MA

Your Clash physical therapist first completes a thorough assessment to determine what combination of treatments is best for your condition, lifestyle, and goals.

These may include:

• Exercise Prescription
• Hands-on Techniques
• Pain Neuroscience Education
• And more

By combining treatments, we address the underlying causes of pain and functional limitations so you can safely return to your everyday activities. The integration of therapies is vital for short-term relief, reducing the risk of re-injury, and long-term results.

Exercise Prescription for Lasting Results

Exercise is a critical element of treatment plans to reduce the risk of re-injury and empower you to manage your condition without more physical therapy sessions in the future.

An Exercise Prescription is unique to each patient and their unique condition.

• Initially, exercises focus on restoring your range of motion, flexibility and strength. This helps quickly reduce pain and improve daily function.
• As you make progress, the focus shifts to performance-enhancing activities for long-term recovery.
• Your physical therapist regularly adjusts your exercise prescription to evolve as your capabilities increase to build confidence and autonomy.

At Clash Physical Therapy, we believe in empowering you by fostering sustainable improvement and better overall health.

Hands-on Techniques

At Clash Physical Therapy in Worcester, MA, hands-on manual therapy techniques form the cornerstone of your individualized treatment plan.

Your experienced physical therapist employs a wide range of manual techniques, like soft tissue mobilization, joint manipulation, and myofascial release. All aim to address pain, improve mobility, and enhance function.

Manual therapy is a key element in restoring normal movement patterns and relieving muscle tension by accelerating healing.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or chronic pain, the focused, individualized attention of manual therapy is an integral part of your treatment plan at Clash.

Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE)

At Clash Physical Therapy, we take an educational approach to pain management through Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE).

Most of our patients have unanswered questions about how:

• Pain is produced in the body
• Pain varies depending on the injury and the timeline
• Personal factors like stress and lifestyle influence pain perception

PNE focuses on shifting the mindset from fear and misunderstanding of pain to greater awareness of how pain works.

Understanding pain mechanisms significantly improves rehabilitation as you feel empowered to actively engage in your recovery journey.
