Recovery Services in Cary
Recovery at Aureum Physio
At Aureum Physio, recovery is more than just rest—it’s a critical part of your performance, rehabilitation, and overall well-being. Our recovery services are designed to reduce pain and optimize your body’s ability to heal and perform.
Recovery services are a set of specialized, hands-on techniques and therapeutic interventions aimed at promoting muscle repair, reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and preventing injury. These methods are often used in conjunction with physical therapy exercises or as part of a wellness routine to support long-term health and performance.
Recovery services play a vital role in:
Enhancing circulation and promoting faster healing
Reducing muscle soreness and tension
Improving joint mobility and flexibility
Breaking down adhesions and scar tissue
Preventing overuse injuries
Supporting mental and physical relaxation
What recovery modalities are available to me at Aureum Physio?
Cupping
A traditional yet increasingly popular therapy, cupping uses suction to lift tissues and promote blood flow, reduce inflammation, and accelerate muscle recovery. It’s commonly used for muscle tightness, muscle pain, and athletic recovery.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
This manual therapy technique involves skilled, hands-on manipulation of muscles, fascia, and connective tissue to break down adhesions, increase mobility, and relieve discomfort.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM is a specialized technique that uses ergonomic tools to gently break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions in soft tissues. This is an evidence-based approach to promote faster healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility—especially after injury or surgery. It’s ideal for athletes and active individuals looking to optimize performance and recovery.
Graston Technique
A form of instrument-assisted mobilization that uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions. The Graston Technique helps break down scar tissue, improve mobility, and enhance overall recovery—making it particularly effective for sports injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Invest In Your Recovery
Integrating recovery into your routine isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. At Aureum Physio, we combine clinical expertise with a personalized approach to help you recover smarter, move better, and feel stronger every day.
While many of our recovery techniques are incorporated into your physical therapy sessions as indicated, scheduling dedicated recovery sessions as a stand-alone treatment offers focused, uninterrupted time to fully benefit from these modalities. Investing in these sessions can accelerate your rehabilitation, optimize results, and help you return to an active, pain-free lifestyle more efficiently.
