MANUAL PHYSICAL THERAPY
A specialized area of Physical Therapy, Manual Physical Therapy, utilizes a hands-on approach for the management of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions using highly specific treatment techniques.
Manual Physical Therapy is based on the assessment of:
• Joints for alignment and mobility
• Muscles across these joints for balance of length and
strength... identifying any tight bands or trigger points
• Coordination of movement of the injured joints and muscles in functional patterns
How Manual Therapy Works When Other Approaches Fail.
It involves restoring mobility and normal end feels to stiff joints and muscles via:
• Mobilization and Manipulation
• Therapeutic Massage
• Deep Tissue Massage (which includes releasing trigger points
that are known to refer pain to other regions of the body)
• Myofascial Release
• Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
• Stretching (including PNF techniques)
• Exercise and the use of Modalities
These techniques can be used for rehabilitation, acute or chronic pain, or for everyday aches and pains.
The goal of each treatment plan is to correct the condition permanently. The patient would only need to resume care if they re-injure themselves.
