                                           Manual Therapy

Mobilization is the skilled passive movement to a joint and/or related soft tissues performed to relieve pain and increase mobility. Manipulation is also skilled passive movement to a joint, similar to mobilization, but it is performed more quickly. Manipulation is often associated with an audible 'pop'. Both mobilizations and manipulations are performed by the physical therapist to improve joint range of motion and relieve pain. Each patient will be evaluated for the appropriate manual therapy techniques for their dysfunction. We combine a caring touch with skilled techniques to reduce pain and increase mobility. Many of our therapists carry certifications in manual therapy/strength and conditioning/athletics, or are board-certified in orthopedics.
