What is manual therapy?
A wide variety of treatments fall under the manual therapy umbrella, but the most common thread is that they all involve direct contact from the therapist, with or without supplemental tools. These techniques can be divided into two categories: soft tissue and joint. During soft tissue work, the therapist applies pressure to specific soft tissue areas. During joint techniques, they use measured movements to push, pull, or mobilize joints to loosen, release pressure and improve flexibility and alignment.
