Manual Therapy
Peak performance requires a healthy balance in joint mechanics and tissue tension. After an injury, it is important that this balance is restored with hands-on mobilizations and then reinforced with stabilization and strength exercises.

- Dry Needling with Electrical Stimulation
- Manual Joint mobilizations
- Soft tissue mobilization/massage
- Cupping (Myofascial release)
- Scraping (Myofascial release)
Dry needling is an effective treatment to relieve pain and improve tissue healing.
Dry needling involves the use of thin needles, inserted into triggerpoints or specific muscles to help promote relaxation and enhance the body’s natural healing process.
Dry Needling helps:
- Eliminates trigger points and muscle spasms
- Accelerates healing
- Alleviates chronic pain
- Improves range of motion
- Reduces muscle guarding
Dry Needling is a valuable addition to our comprehensive treatment plans. Whether you are recovering from an injury or managing muscle overuse, dry needling is an effective treatment plan to help get you back on track!
Winback Tecar Therapy uses high-frequency energy waves to promote deep tissue heating for accelerated oxygen and nutrient delivery. Tecar Therapy hyper excites your body’s natural healing process, targeting the muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints to repair the connective tissue.
The Winback:
- Reduces inflammation
- Accelerates recovery
- Alleviates acute and chronic pain
- Improves tissue mobility and suppleness
The Winback is a powerful tool that helps boost your treatment to the next level for faster results!
Train with 80% lighter weight and achieve the SAME strength gains
- Increase in metabolites such as growth hormone, insulin like growth factor, and regenerative cells post BFR training
- Increase in activation of the MTORC1 protein synthesis pathway post Blood Flow Restriction Training
- Strength and hypertrophy gains with BFR training at 20-30% 1RM are the same as traditional 80% 1RM training.
Here at Symmetry Physical Therapy Miami, we provide a hands-on approach to our treatment which focuses on addressing the soft tissues and joints using techniques such as myofascial release, soft tissue mobilization, manipulation and other modalities which help assist in the progression of your rehabilitation.

Stop injury before it happens. Prehab consists of performing specifically designed exercises for vulnerable areas. We focus on building strength, stability, mobility, and endurance around areas that are at increased risk for injury.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Absolutely, moving a joint through its full range of motion will move the synovial fluid which helps to prevent excessive friction on joints moving on each other and provides nutrition/lubrication which decreases sensations of stiffness.
Of course, here at Symmetry Physical Therapy in Downtown Miami, our doctors of physical therapy have extensive knowledge of multiple forms of treatment that will improve your joint mobility.
Every person will have different signs however among the most common are sensations of tightness/stiffness, decreased range of motion, pain, and decreased function.
Many different techniques exist to help such as joint mobilization/manipulation, dry needling, winback, and therapeutic exercises. This assists in rehabilitation for everyone from the general public to rehab for athletes.
Mobility is an active form of moving a joint through its full range of motion in a controlled manner with flexibility being a generally passive state of a joint having an increased range of motion.
We use joint mobilizations when there is stiffness and a lack of range of motion in any given joint. This stiffness may be leading to further issues so we address it as soon as possible.
Joint mobilizations are graded by pressure applied in the restricted direction. Pushing that joint to the restriction helps to create improved mobility and range of motion.
Joint mobilizations (grade I-IV) are graded with gradual pressure increases. A manipulation of the joint is a high-velocity thrust, leading to a release of the joint.
