Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment technique used by physical therapists to alleviate pain, improve movement, and restore function. It involves skilled, controlled movements of the muscles, joints, and soft tissues to reduce stiffness, enhance flexibility, and promote healing. Techniques such as joint mobilizations, soft tissue manipulation, and stretching help address a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, arthritis, and sports injuries. Manual therapy is tailored to each individual’s needs, providing a personalized approach to enhance recovery and improve overall mobility.​

 

Joint Mobilizations

• Joint mobilizations are a hands-on therapy technique used to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore proper joint function. By applying gentle, controlled movements to specific joints, our licensed physical therapists help relieve stiffness, enhance range of motion, and promote healing. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing arthritis, or dealing with chronic joint pain, joint mobilizations can be an effective part of your personalized treatment plan.

​

Soft Tissue Mobilization

• Soft tissue mobilization is a targeted, hands-on technique used to break up adhesions, reduce muscle tension, and improve circulation in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Our skilled physical therapists use this approach to relieve pain, enhance flexibility, and support your body’s natural healing process. Whether you’re recovering from injury, dealing with chronic tightness, or looking to improve mobility, soft tissue mobilization can be a key part of your rehabilitation and wellness journey.​

​

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

• IASTM is a specialized manual therapy technique that uses ergonomically designed tools to gently break down scar tissue, release tight muscles, and improve soft tissue function. By targeting areas of restriction or injury, our trained physical therapists can help reduce pain, restore mobility, and speed up recovery. IASTM is commonly used for conditions like tendinitis, muscle strains, and post-surgical scarring, and it's always tailored to meet your individual needs and goals.

​

Spinal Manipulation

• Spinal manipulation is a hands-on technique used to improve spinal alignment, relieve pain, and restore mobility. Through carefully controlled thrusts or gentle movements, our licensed physical therapists help reduce tension, improve joint function, and support nervous system health. This technique can be especially effective for patients dealing with back or neck pain, stiffness, or limited range of motion. Spinal manipulation is always performed with your safety and comfort in mind, as part of a personalized treatment plan.
