Understanding Grade 5 Mobilizations in Physical Therapy: Benefits & Techniques
Mark Shulman from the Physical Therapy Effect in San Diego explains grade 5 mobilizations—high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts that help alleviate joint stiffness and reduce pain. Learn how this technique differs from chiropractic manipulations and the therapeutic benefits it offers for improved mobility and muscle tone without the need for a “pop” sound.
When To Rest and When To Move: Understanding Functional Limits in Physical Therapy
Mark Shulman from the Physical Therapy Effect in San Diego explains that physical therapists may advise clients to temporarily avoid certain painful movements to facilitate healing.

What we can treat
What is Orthopedic Physical Therapy?
Orthpedic Physical Therapy is just a fancy way of saying that we can help treat injuries that are a part of the muscoloskeltal system. This includes your bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These types of injuries are the ones that typically cause serious problems in your everyday life, but are entirely treatable.
Some common injuries that we treat are:
Fractures
Muscle strains
Ligament sprains
Post-operative conditions
Tendonitis
Bursitis

Our Treatment Method
How We Treat Pain
Every visit at our clinic will be entirely one-on-one with one of our certified Doctors of Physical Therapy. You always get the expert treatment and care throughout the entire session. After your evaluation, we determine the actual cause of your pain and establish a treatment plan to reduce or completely remove the pain. This is typically done through strengthening of vital, misunderstood muscles and rounding out your body’s functions. We never use medication or painful shots to treat your pain.
