Manual Therapy
At Park Rehab, our skilled physical therapists use targeted, hands-on techniques to relieve pain, reduce stiffness, and restore mobility without the need for medications or invasive procedures.
If you’re dealing with pain from an injury, surgery, or chronic condition, manual therapy could be the solution you need to feel better – naturally. At Park Rehab, our skilled physical therapists use targeted, hands-on techniques to relieve pain, reduce stiffness, and restore mobility without the need for medications or invasive procedures.
What Is Manual Therapy ?
Manual therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that involves the skilled use of the therapist’s hands to mobilize joints, release tight tissues, and improve movement. It’s one of the safest and most effective ways to:
- Reduce pain
- Improve flexibility
- Restore joint mobility
- Increase circulation
- Speed up recovery after injury or surgery
Many patients feel relief after just one session.
Techniques We Use at Park Rehab
Depending on your needs, your physical therapist may use a combination of the following manual therapy techniques:
- Manual Traction – Gently stretches soft tissues to relieve pressure and improve motion – especially helpful for neck, back, and spinal discomfort.
- Joint Mobilization – Applies slow, controlled pressure to stiff joints, helping reduce pain and increase range of motion.
- Soft Tissue Massage – Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions caused by injury or inflammation. These therapeutic massages improve circulation, reduce tightness, and promote healing.
- Spinal Manipulation – A gentle technique to realign and mobilize the spine, relieve joint pressure, reduce nerve irritation, and improve posture and overall function.
Who Can Benefit From Manual Therapy ?
Manual therapy is ideal for patients experiencing:
- Joint stiffness or pain
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Sports or overuse injuries
- Back, neck, or shoulder pain
- Chronic conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia
Our team will evaluate your condition and design a personalized treatment plan that combines manual therapy with exercises and other techniques to maximize your results.
