Hands-On Healing to Restore Function and Relieve Pain

What is Manual Therapy?

Manual Therapy is a hands-on treatment approach used to assess, treat, and improve the function of soft tissues and joints. It includes techniques like soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and stretching to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance healing.
It’s often combined with chiropractic, physical therapy, or rehab programs for optimal results.

Indications – When to Use Manual Therapy:

Manual therapy is beneficial for:

  • Back and neck pain
  • Joint stiffness or limited mobility
  • Muscle tightness, knots, or spasms
  • Chronic pain conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia)
  • Post-injury soft tissue dysfunction
  • Tendinitis, bursitis, or repetitive strain injuries
  • Scar tissue or fascial restrictions

Contraindications – When NOT to Use Manual Therapy:

Avoid or use caution with:

  • Acute fractures or dislocations
  • Open wounds or skin infections
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • Severe osteoporosis
  • Cancer in or near the treatment area
  • Recent surgery (without clearance)

Always assess the area and patient history before applying pressure or mobilization.

Take that first step toward better health.
