What is Manual Therapy?
Manual Therapy is a Physical Therapy approach that utilizes hands-on techniques to treat orthopedic and neurological impairments. The certified manual therapist will apply specific tissue and joint mobilizations to achieve targeted responses and improve your condition. Expected outcomes include pain management, increased range of motion, reduced soft tissue inflammation, improved contractile and noncontractile tissue healing, improved mobility or stability, and the restoration of movement and function. Certified orthopedic manual therapists complete a two to four year formal curriculum and residency program in addition to earning their Masters or Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy.
