MANUAL THERAPY

What is manual therapy?

Manual therapy is a type of treatment that involves hands-on treatment performed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

​

This is great, because it gives me more information regarding what's going on with you body and also how we can treat it. It allows the Physical Therapist to assess alignment and tissue health.

 

Once that is done, the Physical Therapist performs different types of techniques to help get the joints, muscle, and tendons functioning the way they should be. These techniques include:

Trigger point release

Counterstrain

Muscle energy techniques

Myofascial release

​

Active individuals love manual therapy. This is because it allows the patients to get a type of treatment that they can't do, themselves. 

​

Manual therapy is effective for conditions such as:

Pain

Stiffness and reduced range of motion

Numbness and tingling

Tight muscles

Post surgical conditions

Alignment and postural imbalances

​

It is also a great adjunct to a maintenance program to help keep active individuals feeling good and injury-free.
