FIND THE RELIEF YOU DESERVE!
Manual Therapy Manual therapy is a type of physical therapy used to treat musculoskeletal pain and disability. It primarily consists of muscle kneading and manipulation, joint mobilization, and joint manipulation. Manual therapy techniques move muscles and joints and include the following: • Palpation • Stretching • Gentle and high-pressure forces • Gentle and strong resistance of movements to affect change • Rapid and/or forceful manipulation These treatments assist a physical therapist’s rehabilitation program by encouraging your body to heal itself. Manual techniques aim to ensure that your bones and muscles are aligned, balanced, and functioning correctly. WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM PHYSICAL THERAPY? Physical therapy should start immediately following most injuries to ensure the fastest recovery possible. Understanding the stages of healing is essential to resolving your condition promptly. Our therapists will begin with an injury evaluation and a biomechanical assessment to identify all the factors contributing to your pain/ injury.
We will use this information to identify the most likely tissue causing your pain and dysfunction. Based on the stage of healing you are in, we will develop a comprehensive program that includes targeted manual techniques, mobility work, strengthening, and appropriate pain relief techniques for the fastest possible recovery. Our team will interpret the clues your body is giving you and provide you with clearly defined instructions on how long it will likely take to resolve your problems. Our goal is to help you recover using the body’s natural, noninvasive systems for healing. REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT AT CHOICE PHYSICAL THERAPY TODAY!
