Manual Therapy

What is Manual Therapy?

Manual Therapy involves hands on-techniques to help resolve tightness, improve spinal alignment, decrease pain in muscles and joints, and restore mobility. Sessions will vary based on patient needs and may focus on areas of dysfunction, drivers of dysfunction, or full body alignment and symmetry. Please speak with your therapist about your specific treatment goals.

How does this differ from Massage Therapy?

Manual Therapy is not a "feel good" treatment. It is completed with purpose, to not only make you feel better, but move more efficiently. If you have tightness that never seems to resolve with massage or stretching, it's possible the wrong tissues have been targeted. Maybe your shoulder tightness is driven by thoracic spine restrictions. Maybe your hamstring tightness is driven by lack of neural mobility. Maybe your neck tension is due to poor pelvic alignment. All of these issues can improve with the right approach.
