Manual Therapies

Manual therapy involves the use of skilled hand techniques to mobilize joints that have lost their mobility, or to activate tissues that have lost their normal length or extensibility.

This hands-on therapy can include skilled manual joint mobilizations, myofascial release techniques, the use of instruments designed for soft tissue mobilization, orthopedic cupping, and stretching techniques (passive and active assisted). 

 Uses a combination of manual therapy to decrease soft tissue restrictions and improve mobility of the tissue and joints, and skilled exercise prescription to strengthen the joints in the newly acquired motion to decrease risk of re- injury.
