Functional Manual Therapy: Knee treatment

Ian McVay, PTA, CAFMT at IPA Physio Portland showcases some treatment examples for the knee used extensively at their clinic.
Pre-testing, soft tissue mobilization, functional mobilization, PNF, stability training, resisted functional training, blood flow restriction therapy, and post-testing are all included in this treatment.
The Functional Manual Therapy approach considers the whole person when restoring function to the body. Enhancing mechanical capacity, neuromuscular function, and motor control is essential to improve your patient's functional capacity.
