Manual Therapy (MT) is a range of therapeutic techniques commonly used to treat soft-tissue pain or disability through pressure and movements that break up scar tissue while bringing oxygen and blood flow back to damaged area.

Our manual therapists are trained in an array of techniques which allow them to tailor treatment to each patient’s unique needs and continue modifying treatment plans to improve results. It is for this reason that many patients elect to continue with manual therapy for maintenance purposes after their initial plan of care ends. 

About Our Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy (MT) is a range of therapeutic techniques commonly used to treat soft-tissue pain or disability. This broad range of modalities typically involves manipulation and/or mobilization of the joints and tissues in injured areas. The pressure and movements help break up scar tissue while bringing oxygen and blood flow back to the area.

Although MT is sometimes painful during treatment, patients often experience lasting therapeutic relief. The main benefits
associated with manual therapy include decreased muscle pain, enhanced blood flow, relaxed soft tissues, and improved joint function.
