Manual Therapy
Manual therapy interventions are used to
decrease pain and improve range-of-motion
and flexibility to stiff joints and muscles.
Once pain has been reduced and joint mobility
improved, it is much easier for a patient to
regain optimal and efficient movement patterns
and restore maximum function. Mobilization and
manipulation are key components of therapy
and consist of skilled, passive movements to
joints and associated soft-tissue structures.
Other hands-on procedures such as massage,
stretching and deep pressure are components
of manual therapy. The goal is restoration of
injured tissues
to normal function.
