Manual Therapy

When a specific joint is injured the physical therapist will often use manual therapy to help aid in the healing process. Whether it’s an overuse injury such as tendonitis or a sports injury, the physical therapist will identify the joint and soft tissue structures that may be injured, and if there were underlying areas of restriction that may have contributed to the injury.  There are numerous techniques such as mobilization of soft tissue and joint restriction, that will aid in the rehabilitation process.
