Manual Therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that involves hands-on techniques to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It’s commonly used to address problems in muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues. Manual therapy can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote healing by using physical manipulation to encourage better movement and reduce discomfort.
- Pain Relief: Alleviate acute or chronic pain in the muscles and joints.
- Improved Mobility: Restore the range of motion in stiff or restricted joints.
- Enhanced Circulation: Promote blood flow to the affected areas, aiding in the healing process.
- Reduce Muscle Tension: Release tightness in muscles, tendons, and fascia to improve movement and reduce discomfort.
- Improve Functionality: Help patients regain the ability to perform daily activities without pain or restriction.
