What is Manual Therapy?
Manual Therapy is a treatment approach using the Physical Therapists hands to deliver highly skilled treatment to the client’s body through various joint mobilizations and manipulations, and soft tissue work. Manual Therapy is a significant component of our treatment approach at Empower U. Through numerous techniques performed on the body, we are able to significantly alter a client’s pain levels and create a window of opportunity to allow the client to move more freely at the targeted body region.
Why Is this Significant?
Research has shown over the years that Manual Therapy + Exercise is the superior way to improve client outcomes. Using Manual Therapy in our PT sessions gives us a fast pass to reach your goals and gives you a chance to quickly see results that exercise alone has not given you. As highly-trained and experienced manual therapists we are able to implement this approach to healing that can be designed to help reduce chronic pain, increase range of motion, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing. Not utilizing this approach in our practice would be shortsighted and a disservice to you as a client.
