It allegedly heats the deep tissue to loosen it. Depending upon what's going on in the area - my issue is lots of scar tissue - my anecdotal experience is that it does make the rest of PT less screamy.

And my chiros gave my instructions on exercises to strengthen the muscles around my weakest joints - the same ones my PT advised. More anecdotes from two people who were lucky to find ethical chiropractors (almost an oxymoron!)
