What does CLRT mean in THERAPY

Continuous Lateral Rotation Therapy (CLRT) is a medical treatment that helps reduce inflammation and pain in the body. The therapy involves using a machine to rotate the body slowly from side to side in a controlled manner while lying in bed. This unique treatment has been used for decades to treat a variety of musculoskeletal issues including arthritis, bursitis, sciatica, and fibromyalgia.

CLRT is most commonly used for people who have chronic pain conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia. It is also beneficial for athletes who are recovering from injuries or who want to increase their mobility and flexibility. However, CLRT can be useful for anyone looking to reduce inflammation and pain in their bodies.

The machine works by slowly rotating the body in an intermittent way, helping provide more movement than what can be achieved by traditional stretching exercises or massage therapy alone. As the body rotates, it increases the circulation of oxygen and fluid around the joints and muscles which can reduce stiffness and improve range of motion.

During your session you will lie down on a comfortable mattress and pillow with your head supported comfortably by straps at the sides of the bed frame. The therapist will then use a motorized device connected to the bed (which turns at a preset speed) to move your body from side-to-side over some period of time (usually 15 minutes). The sensation may cause some slight discomfort but it should not hurt. Additionally, you may be given pillows to help support specific areas if needed throughout your session.

Depending on the condition being treated, you may need anywhere between once daily or three times per week sessions of treatments depending on how severe your situation is or what goal you are trying to achieve through this treatment method. Your therapist will be able to advise you on how many sessions are suitable for your individual needs based off their assessment of your condition.

After a session of CLRT there may be minor muscle soreness which could last up to 48 hours post-treatment; however most people find that this increases mobility rather than reducing it temporarily; therefore there shouldn't be any significant restriction when resuming daily activities shortly after treatment; although always consult with your doctor before deciding if this type of treatment would suit you best before making any drastic changes in lifestyle activities including exercising.

There are no known risks associated with using CLRT unless it is taken beyond its recommended course or limits set by healthcare professionals who specialize in assessing individual conditions prior prescriptions based on those assessments being made available.

People who use CLRT typically experience increased joint mobility; reduced inflammation; improved circulation; increased range of motion throughout muscle tissue[s]; reduced muscle spasms; improved sleep quality due to decreased discomfort levels during sleep cycles.

Yes! Before beginning any form of medical therapeutic program like CRLT it's highly advisable that you first seek approval from both your primary care physician as well as specialists such as physiotherapists and chiropractors in order ensure maximum safety while benefiting from this therapy.
