Treatment Overview
Understanding Your Personalized Treatment Approach
At ShechterCare®, every treatment session is customized to your unique needs. Our expert team ensures each session includes comprehensive manual therapies, including soft tissue work, scar massage, and lymphatic drainage. We focus on what matters most to you, combining advanced techniques and personalized care to target your specific concerns and promote optimal healing.
Pre-Session Preparation
For the best possible results, we may ask patients to arrive a few minutes early to use our visor pneumatic pump. This pre-treatment step gently softens tissues, enhancing the effectiveness of your manual therapy and helping you get the most out of every session. Your comfort and progress are our top priorities, and this preparation ensures a smoother, more targeted treatment experience.
