Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy that involves literal hands-on examination and treatment techniques (a physical therapist will use his or her hands to provide treatment). This hands-on treatment is integrated with exercise, patient education, and other physical therapy modalities to address pain, loss of function, and wellness. Our staff specializes in techniques that can be used to improve range of motion and tissue extensibility, mobilize soft tissue and joints, control pain, reduce soft tissue swelling, inflammation, or restriction, and induce relaxation. Manual therapies include joint mobilizations, cupping, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM).
