Manual Therapy
Our therapists use expert hands-on techniques to reduce pain, release soft tissue restrictions, and restore healthy joint and muscle function.
What Is it?
Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment approach that targets soft tissue and joint dysfunction. Using techniques like mobilization, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy, our physical therapists help reduce pain, improve circulation, and restore movement. It’s often used alongside exercise and education for more complete and lasting results.
Our Approach
We combine manual therapy with movement retraining to deliver lasting results. You’ll work one-on-one with an experienced therapist who will evaluate how your joints, muscles, and fascia are working together — and identify where restrictions are holding you back. Our hands-on techniques are personalized, precise, and always integrated with functional movement and recovery strategies.
Conditions We Treat
Manual therapy is ideal for treating joint restrictions, muscular tightness, chronic pain, and movement limitations through hands-on care.
Conditions Commonly Treated:
• Joint stiffness or misalignment
• Cervical and lumbar pain
• Myofascial restrictions
• Sciatica or nerve tension

What Can I Expect
Your first session includes a comprehensive exam to pinpoint which joints, tissues, or movement patterns are contributing to your symptoms. If manual therapy is indicated, we’ll explain each technique before starting and combine it with exercises and education that help reinforce changes. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your body and a plan for relief.
