Manual Therapy
Manual therapy simply means the physical therapist only uses their hands for the treatment of muscle and/or joint pain.
Joint Mobilization: Joints are treated manually to increase their range of motion and decrease
stiffness. To enhance joint and muscle function, our physical therapists typically use this
technique to help patients with their nerve, muscle, and/or joint condition.
Soft Tissue Mobilization: This entails working with soft tissues like ligaments, tendons, and
muscles. Deep pressure, stretching, and kneading are some commonly used methods that can be
used to release tight muscles and increase soft tissue suppleness.
Myofascial Release: The fascia, or connective tissue that envelops muscles and organs, is the
goal of this therapy. The goal is to loosen up the fascia, which will enhance range of motion and
lessen or remove pain and discomfort.
Strain-Counterstrain: This is another manual therapy technique that uses passive body positions of tense muscles and dysfunctional joints towards comfortable positions. This technique is utilized to ease the stress and strain on the muscle to shorten the problematic muscle. Depending on the specific condition being treated, our physical therapists utilize one or more of these manual therapy techniques.
