Therapeutic Techniques

Craniosacral Therapy

Fred Samorodin specializes in Craniosacral Therapy, a subtle bodywork therapy that focuses on the subtle dynamics of the body's tissues. This therapy is highly effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including headaches, ear infections, back pain, malalignment, and jaw pain.

Gentle Manipulation

Fred utilizes gentle manual manipulation techniques, such as Advanced Bowen Technique, to unwind joints and help them gain flexibility. He limits the use of high-velocity "cracking" in his physiotherapy treatments.

Acupuncture

Fred is certified to offer acupuncture/dry needling treatments and can combine the use of pulsing electrical current (TENS) to relax conditions such as chronic spasms.

Kinesiology Tape

In addition to teaching you at-home exercises and techniques, Fred uses kinesiology tape with certain patients to help reinforce your recovery and sustain the benefits of treatment. Kinesio tape can help support painful joints temporarily on the days following a physiotherapy session. Fred can also help you order other joint wraps or tape supplies from Nikken, Inc. to benefit from this type of therapy at home.

Jaw (TMJ & TMD) Treatment

Fred works in conjunction with dentists to help patients manage chronic jaw pain problems using craniomandibular osteopathic techniques. His approach includes working inside the mouth to help balance the bite and improving jaw alignment through overall posture adjustments from neck down to feet. Several physiotherapy visits can help you experience the benefits of his techniques and may save you from undergoing lengthy dental procedures.

Cupping

Fred utilizes a recent innovation in cupping therapy, Fascia Buddy TM silicone cups, as a complement to his other treatment methods. He also sells this and other supportive health products for use at home.
