Find Relief Across Our 4 Los Angeles Locations: Santa Monica, Brentwood, Marina del Rey, and Culver City
At Prodigy Chiro Care, we are dedicated to offering a comprehensive range of treatments to improve your flexibility and manage muscle tension. One effective technique we utilize is post-isometric relaxation (PIR), which helps alleviate tightness and promote pain relief.
The therapist carefully positions your body to gently stretch the targeted muscle until a slight resistance is felt, but not to the point of pain.
You will then be instructed to contract the stretched muscle gently against minimal resistance for a short duration (usually 5-10 seconds).
After the contraction, you will fully relax the muscle. The therapist then gently stretches the muscle again, often finding an increased range of motion due to the relaxed state.
PIR helps release muscle tension and stiffness, increasing your range of motion and flexibility.
By relieving muscle tension and promoting relaxation, PIR can alleviate pain caused by tight muscles and trigger points.
Improved flexibility and reduced pain can lead to better overall movement and performance.
PIR is a safe and gentle approach suitable for various individuals, including those seeking relief from chronic or acute pain.
Our team of experienced professionals at Prodigy Chiro Care will assess your individual needs and determine if PIR is the right approach for you. We offer personalized treatment plans designed to address your specific concerns and help you achieve lasting results.
