Manual therapy uses hands to manipulate, mobilize, and massage muscles, joints, and soft tissues. This hands-on approach reduces pain, increases range of motion, improves circulation, and promotes healing. Our physical therapists have extensive experience in manual therapy and are committed to helping you achieve your health and wellness goals.
