Information technology (IT) refers to a set of organizational processes and tools used for overseeing computer systems, hardware, software, networks and data processing and management. The term is sometimes used interchangeably.
Functional Manual Therapy
Functional Manual Therapy (FMT) is one of the methods of manual therapy we offer at Resonance PT. FMT takes a holistic approach, seeing all parts of the body working as one unit that needs to function optimally in order for recovery to take place. Ultimately, FMT helps alleviate pain, improve movement patterns and posture as well as decrease the likelihood of future symptoms resurfacing.
Functional Manual Therapists are experts at assessing and treating joints, soft tissues, viscera, neurovascular systems in the body. With extensive knowledge of anatomy, advanced palpation skills and hands-on techniques they restore efficient mobility to these structures for immediate retraining and integration back into function. At Resonance Physical Therapy our therapists are certified Functional Manual Therapists through Institute of Physical Art (IPA).
FMT utilizes evaluation techniques that identify movement dysfunctions that cause pain, decreased mobility and degenerative changes to joints and soft tissues such as muscles, nerves organs fascia skin and ligaments to restore their efficiency and increase strength and endurance. Once identified a hands on treatment technique is selected to restore them; this may include hand therapy techniques intended to retrain or reeducate the targeted joint or soft tissues such as fascia skin or ligaments and restore efficiency through muscle reeducation, movement pattern refinement or strength and endurance increases.
Manual techniques often rely on biomechanical mechanisms for their effectiveness; however, such approaches often lack interpractitioner reliability and fail to take into account psychological elements like patient expectations, therapeutic alliance and catastrophizing that interact with mechanical stimulation of an MT technique and may either amplify or diminish clinical outcomes.
Resonance Physio is one of the few locations in Bellingham, WA offering Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM). FSM is an advanced form of electrical stimulation that uses a highly specialized device to deliver small currents with frequencies similar to those produced naturally by your cells – ideal for stimulating production of cellular energy, increasing circulation, releasing endorphins and decreasing inflammation and speeding healing. Results often can be seen immediately following just one session! We offer this treatment alongside traditional manual techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue massage for even greater efficacy!
Schroth Method
Schroth Method spinal rehabilitation is an innovative approach based on the belief that every spine has its own individual shape and structure. It targets three-dimensional correction by using exercises to facilitate derotation and elongation of spine and ribcage while improving breathing, muscle activation and integration – this ensures balance and stability within spine while decreasing pain progression and curve progression.
The Schroth technique involves a series of therapeutic postures, stretching exercises and strengthening routines tailored to each patient’s curve pattern – these can be performed sitting, standing or lying down. Therapists utilize props and equipment such as the Schroth ladder, whole body vibration devices, therapy balls and resistance bands to assist patients in reaching corrective positions more easily. Visual feedback with mirrors also help patients become aware of their posture and realign themselves into proper alignment more quickly.
Schroth exercises not only strengthen and stretch core muscles, but they also focus on increasing spinal mobility through rotational angular breathing (RAB). This deep, conscious form of breathing encourages expanded collapsed areas in the ribcage for improved posture as well as movement of the thoracic spine.
Thoracic extensions can help improve flexibility of this area and can help alleviate stiffness or asymmetry in the spine. Shoulder girdle stabilization exercises can also be included to decrease shoulder blade “winging” while providing improved trunk and ribcage stability.
Schroth therapists work closely with each client to create a custom exercise program tailored specifically for them. This process includes physical assessments, curvature evaluation and discussion of treatment goals with patients. A Schroth therapist may suggest other interventions such as myofascial release techniques, massage or acupuncture as a part of their plan.
The Schroth Method is an effective treatment option for individuals suffering from scoliosis. Research indicates its potential effectiveness; it has even outshone other conventional scoliosis treatments on some occasions! While results will depend on each patient, finding a physical therapist familiar with Schroth treatment and familiar with treating individuals with spinal curvatures will ensure an efficient experience and safe results.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is an innovative therapy that employs the resonant frequencies to treat tissues and conditions positively, alleviating pain, speeding healing and reducing inflammation.
FSM uses a microcurrent machine to provide low-level electrical current to the body at one millionth of an amp, which cannot stimulate nerves or cause any sensation whatsoever. Furthermore, this treatment has been scientifically validated as safe and effective.
Microcurrent energy stimulates your body’s natural production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an essential building block in every cell’s metabolism and an effective healing agent for damaged tissues. FSM has been found to increase levels of ATP up to 500% within targeted tissues for better pain reduction and stiffness reduction.
Each type of tissue in our bodies has its own individual frequency that connects its electrical bonds. Studies have demonstrated how inflammation or viral infection can alter these frequencies, leading to altered bodily functioning and eventually leading to health issues that require microcurrent therapy to return them back to their baseline levels and restore healthy functioning in an effective way. Frequency Specific Microcurrent has proven highly successful at normalizing frequencies back into healthy states in this way.
Note that no technique works every time; therefore it’s essential to get an accurate diagnosis in order to ascertain if FSM could help the condition in question. For example, shoulder pain could stem from muscles, tendons, bursae, discs or even the gallbladder and using frequency therapy can significantly alleviate your symptoms.
Even though FSM has no known side effects, those who use an implanted pacemaker or any device that utilizes electrical current should avoid it. Furthermore, new injuries or fractures should not undergo this therapy without consulting with a trained practitioner first to ascertain its benefits for them.

Bioresonance
Bioresonance therapy is an innovative noninvasive solution to health issues. Based on the principle that each body organ has its own electromagnetic resonance pattern, therapists record this information and transmit it back to patients through applicators on the skin; then the device transposes these frequencies back into the body, strengthening harmonious patterns while weakening disharmonic ones.
A typical bioresonance session typically lasts 60-90 minutes, during which the practitioner applies bioresonance applicators on the forehead, hands, and feet over organ areas or reflex zones while their client sits or lies down. Finally, they connect the applicators to the bioresonance machine, which records any information received.
After the bioresonance system has recorded its findings, a report will be provided to the patient outlining which imbalances were found and their nature. This information may provide clues as to the underlying cause of their condition – food or environmental sensitivities, nutritional imbalances, hormonal issues or resonating toxins may all impede reaching true balance within their bodies.
Some may experience results within one session, while those living with chronic conditions will require ongoing therapy sessions. Based on your health issue, the therapist will recommend scheduling an initial consultation to develop a tailored treatment plan designed to reduce symptoms.
Bioresonance therapy has proven itself effective at relieving pain and improving mobility, by correcting energy field imbalances in the body and stimulating cell function. Furthermore, this form of therapy has also been shown to decrease inflammation levels while supporting natural pain-relief mechanisms within our bodies.
Some physical therapists use the BICOM optima as an adjunct to physical therapy with patients suffering from spine deformities. Spinal deformities affect 2.5-25% of the population, and if left untreated can cause considerable discomfort, limited mobility, or even severe disability. Bioresonance offers an effective and safe alternative to surgery or medications when it comes to treating spinal deformities – in fact it can even serve as primary therapy! BICOM therapy may even serve as preventative measure by helping individuals maintain healthier spines through addressing root causes issues.
