Manual Therapy involves using hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions. It is effective in relieving pain, reducing swelling and muscle spasms, improving range of motion, and enhancing overall function.
In manual therapy, our skilled practitioners apply various techniques to treat soft tissues (such as muscles, ligaments, fascia, and joint capsules) and joints. This approach helps alleviate pain caused by muscle tension, spasm, stiffness, scar tissue, adhesions, and joint dysfunction. By loosening tight muscles and fascia, reducing joint pain, and improving flexibility and alignment, manual therapy helps restore proper movement and function.
