What Is Manual Therapy and How Can It Benefit Me?
Manual therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that involves hands-on techniques to manipulate muscles, joints, and soft tissues. This approach aims to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function. By using targeted manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and manipulation, therapists can address specific areas of discomfort, including neck pain, knee pain, and conditions like rotator cuff injuries, providing a tailored treatment to promote healing and reduce severe pain.
How Do Manual Therapy Techniques Improve Health Conditions?
Manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilization and soft tissue techniques, play a crucial role in treating various musculoskeletal issues.
