Enhance joint mobility! Combat tension and tightness with a tailored mobility program.
Muscle tightness often results from weak muscles or restricted joint mobility. Our therapists will create a personalized program that includes strength training, mobility exercises, and stretching to improve joint function. Your Physical Therapist will identify and address the underlying causes of your mobility and flexibility issues. Following an injury, it’s crucial to restore this balance through hands-on mobilizations and then strengthen it with stabilization and strength exercises.

Manual therapy involves skilled hands-on techniques and passive movements applied to joints and soft tissues to enhance tissue flexibility, alleviate tension, increase range of motion, promote relaxation, and address pain, swelling, and restrictions. Techniques may include massage, or joint mobilization, manual traction, and passive range of motion exercises.

Physical therapists choose and apply manual therapy techniques based on examination results that suggest these methods will help reduce pain, spasms, or swelling.

When integrated into a complete physical therapy plan, manual therapy contributes to improved health, wellness, and overall fitness. There is a significant amount of evidence-based literature backing manual care as a part of a multimodal approach to orthopedic care.
