Manual Therapy
Manual physical therapy is a one-on-one, hands-on approach to the evaluation and treatment of soft tissue injuries and joint problems. Manual therapists use their hands to mobilize the joints of your spine and extremities with the goal of restoring normal movement and function to the joints and soft tissues. Examples of manual therapy techniques include joint and tissue mobilization, positional release therapy, muscle energy techniques, and myofacial release therapy.
Specifically, we use the mobilization techniques of manual therapy to:
- Reduce pain in soft tissues and joint structures
- Increase range of motion
- Reduce or eliminate soft tissue inflammation
- Induce relaxation
- Stimulate and improve tissue repair, extensibility, and stability
- Facilitate movement
- Improve function
