Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques to ease pain and improve function.

Manual therapy is the therapeutic use of your physical therapist’s skilled hands to alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and get you back to being you. It is never used as a stand alone treatment and is always combined with therapeutic exercise or activities to achieve your functional goals. It is safe and effective when performed by highly trained providers.
