Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment by clinicians to treat muscle aches, joint pain, and limited range of motion. It utilizes a variety of techniques including soft tissue mobilization of muscles, specific joint mobilization, and joint manipulation. The expected results may include:
- Managing pain
- Increasing range of motion
- Reducing soft tissue tension
- Eliminating joint inflammation
- Increasing joint mobility
- Improving joint stability
- Promoting proper recruitment of muscle groups
- Restoring normal movement patterns
We employ a range of manual therapy techniques including:
- Joint mobilization
- Passive range of motion
- Flexibility
- Soft tissue mobilization
- Myofascial release
- Trigger point release
- Spinal Manipulation
