Of course, your next question is, "What are the usual results I can expect from MUA therapy?" You should experience an immediate increase in range of motion, even though there is usually some temporarily added muscle soreness similar to the feeling of having completed an aggressive exercise session. In cases involving symptoms caused by disturbance from adhesions and shortened tissues, there should be a significant change, either immediately or within a short period following the procedures. After the series of MUA, the patient must adhere to a schedule of in-office follow-up care and self-help exercise to maintain the gains received through the procedure.
