Manual Therapy - Musculoskeletal Manipulation

Manual therapy, or comprehensive physical therapy, is our number one treatment at all ORS clinics. It is a crucial role in orthopedic rehabilitation, involving comprehensive hands-on interventions aimed at releasing restrictions and improving function in specific areas of the body. Our skilled physical therapists utilize various manual therapy techniques to address orthopedic conditions and promote recovery.

What is Physical Therapy?

Our physical therapy doctors employ a range of manual therapy rehab techniques to provide targeted treatment. Some of the techniques we use include:

• Therapeutic Massage
• Graston Technique
• Passive Range of Motion
• Vestibular Rehabilitation

These techniques are carefully selected and tailored to address specific conditions and therapeutic goals, such as improving tissue extensibility, increasing range of motion, inducing relaxation, mobilizing soft tissue and joints, reducing pain, and alleviating swelling, inflammation, or restrictions.

Benefits of Manual Therapy

The application of manual therapy techniques in orthopedic rehabilitation can provide several benefits, including:

• Improved tissue extensibility
• Increased range of motion
• Enhanced relaxation
• Effective soft tissue and joint mobilization
• Pain reduction
• Decreased soft tissue swelling, inflammation, or restriction
• Promotion of overall health, wellness, and fitness
