Manual Physical Therapy

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach to physical therapy that uses various techniques to improve your movement, reduce pain, and promote healing. Our therapists use their skilled hands to target specific tissues like muscles, joints, and fascia (connective tissue) to address restrictions and imbalances that contribute to pain and dysfunction.

Symptoms & Conditions:

  • Muscle tension and knots: Stress, repetitive movements, and injuries can cause muscles to become tight and painful.
  • Joint dysfunction: Restricted movement in a joint can lead to pain and stiffness.
  • Postural imbalances: Poor posture can put stress on certain muscles and joints, leading to pain.
  • Scar tissue: Scar tissue from injuries can limit mobility and flexibility.
  • Arthritis: Having arthritis can cause a restricted range of motion and joint pain.

Benefits:

Manual therapy includes soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release techniques, spine and peripheral joint mobilization and manipulation techniques, manual traction, muscle energy techniques, cross friction massage, and neural tissue mobilization. Manual therapy can help manage pain and improve function.
