Mechanism of Action: VM techniques involve gentle manipulation of blood vessels to improve blood flow, reduce vascular tension, and promote vascular health. By addressing vascular dysfunction, VM aims to restore normal physiological processes, alleviate symptoms, and prevent complications.
Clinical Applications: VM has been applied in various vascular disorders to alleviate pain, improve circulation, and enhance quality of life. For example, VM techniques have shown promise in reducing symptoms and improving walking distance in patients with peripheral artery disease (Regensteiner et al., 2000). Additionally, VM has been used as an adjunctive therapy for varicose veins to reduce venous reflux and improve venous function (Gloviczki et al., 2011).
Vascular manipulation offers a non-invasive and potentially effective approach for managing vascular disorders. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of VM and establish its efficacy in diverse patient populations.References:Regensteiner, J. G., Wolfel, E. E., Brass, E.
