The electric modalities used are Ultrasonic therapy, TENS, Interferential Therapy (IFT) Muscle stimulator, Heat Packs and many more.

Dry Needling: An invasive medical technique involving the insertion of fine needles into trigger points of tight muscles to facilitate pain relief and healing.

Taping: Taping is a technique used to provide joint support and alignment to ease pain and facilitate normal movement.

Cupping Therapy: An ancient technique of applying special vacuum cups on the tight muscles to increase blood flow and enhance muscle function and growth.

Rehabilitation Exercises Program: Tailor-made and graded home exercises designed to improve posture, enhance spinal and joint mobility, and strengthen supporting muscles-a crucial aspect of the recovery journey.
