Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves specialized hands-on techniques that target areas of your body that are limited in motion, and it works to improve your movement and reduce your pain. Manual therapy is especially beneficial if you are experiencing spine problems, joint injuries, or other health conditions.
All of our expert physical therapists have had years of specialized
training with the North American Institute of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (NAIOMT) to further their knowledge and expertise in specific manual therapy techniques to help get better results with our patients. Our therapists believe that hands-on manual therapy techniques are a key to getting our patients better and helping them stay healthy.
Part of the recovery process requires strengthening the weakened muscles of your injured or painful areas. This provides better support to the joints and prevents pain from recurring. Our experts have years of training in the use of therapeutic exercises that are effective both in the clinic and at home.
We show you how to do exercises in the correct way to improve your range of motion, strength, flexibility, coordination, and stamina. In addition, we also teach you how to perform these exercises at home, so you can maintain your results.
