Hands-On Therapy
Specialized hands-on techniques to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function in joints, muscles, and soft tissues.
Specialized hands-on techniques performed by skilled physical therapists to diagnose and treat soft tissue and joint structures. Manual therapy combines precise movements, mobilizations, and manipulations to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore normal function to muscles, joints, and connective tissues.
What is Manual Therapy
Manual Therapy is a specialized, hands-on treatment approach used by our skilled physical therapists to assess, diagnose, and treat dysfunctions in the muscles, joints, and connective tissues. At Therapy Excellence, manual therapy is an integral part of many patients’ recovery plans, especially when pain, stiffness, or limited mobility are preventing progress.
Unlike exercise-based interventions alone, manual therapy involves the therapist using their hands to apply controlled pressure, mobilizations, or specific movements to affected areas. Techniques may include soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and joint manipulation, depending on your condition and treatment goals.
This hands-on approach is highly effective for reducing pain, improving joint mobility, increasing circulation, decreasing muscle tension, and helping restore proper movement patterns. By addressing underlying mechanical restrictions, manual therapy can accelerate your recovery and enhance the effectiveness of other treatments like therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular re-education.
