What Is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a very broad term that encompasses many different forms of “hands-on” therapy performed by a licensed Physical Therapist to a patient. These techniques may include myofascial release, massage, soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, or Active Release Techniques, just to name a few. Manual therapy is often a critical part of your comprehensive and individualized physical therapy treatment plan.
In many cases, painful symptoms, mobility limitations, and other disruptive concerns can be reduced and resolved with intentional hands-on therapy. Also known as manual physical therapy, our hands-on therapy includes a range of intentional mobilizations and restorative tissue manipulations to liberate you from the pain and problems that have been holding you back!
Since manual physical therapy encompasses an umbrella of proven interventions, the key to successful manual therapy starts with a careful plan of action designed exclusively for your needs. Our experienced physical therapists in Bergen County bring that focused depth of care to every session, pairing a mastery of evidence-based manual therapy with genuine kindness, patience, and a passion for helping our clients reach their functional and pain-free goals!
