What is Manual Therapy?
Manual Therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy delivered with the hands as opposed to a device or machine. Therapists use their hands to apply pressure to muscle tissue and manipulate joints in an attempt to decrease pain caused by spasms, tension, and/or joint dysfunction.
Manual therapy helps to improve soft tissue mobilization, increase range of motion, and decrease muscle spasms. It also induces relaxation, helps control pain, and reduces swelling.
