Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore normal movement patterns. It involves skilled, targeted techniques applied directly to muscles, joints, and soft tissues to help the body heal, move more freely, and function better.

At JointKare Physical Therapy, we use manual therapy as part of a personalized treatment plan to address issues like joint stiffness, muscle tightness, poor posture, chronic pain, and movement restrictions. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a sports injury, or dealing with everyday tension, manual therapy can accelerate healing and improve outcomes.

Techniques may include:

• Joint mobilization to restore range of motion

• Soft tissue massage to reduce muscle tightness and pain

• Myofascial release to relieve tension and improve flexibility

• Trigger point therapy to target specific areas of discomfort

• Manual stretching to increase flexibility and reduce stiffness

Manual therapy is often combined with therapeutic exercises and movement retraining for long-lasting results. Our goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to restore your body's natural ability to move with ease and strength.
