The Manual Touch Physical Therapy

At The Manual Touch Physical Therapy, we believe that your path to healing begins with understanding your entire body-mind, spirit, and physical structure. Our mission is to empower you to reclaim your movement, function, and joy in life by addressing the root cause of your pain and limitations. We are a team of dedicated physical therapists who are passionate about helping our patients achieve lasting results through our unique "Whole Body Approach" to therapy.

Our Philosophy: A Holistic Approach to Healing

We recognize that pain and movement dysfunction are complex, multifaceted issues that rarely stem from a single source. Instead, we believe they often arise from a combination of factors, including muscular imbalances, postural distortions, limited joint mobility, nervous system dysfunction, and even emotional stress. That's why we take a comprehensive approach to assessment and treatment, considering your individual needs and unique circumstances.

Our therapists use their expertise in both traditional and non-traditional manual therapy techniques to create personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific condition and goals. This integrated approach allows us to address the underlying causes of your pain, rather than simply masking the symptoms.

The Services We Offer: A Pathway to Wellness

The Manual Touch Physical Therapy offers a wide range of services to help you recover from injury, manage chronic pain, improve your overall function, and achieve your wellness goals.

Our expertise spans a diverse range of musculoskeletal conditions, including lower back pain, sciatica, neck pain, foot/ankle pain, knee and hip pain, shoulder and elbow pain, arthritis, muscular strains, balance and vestibular disorders, and chronic pain. We also specialize in rehabilitation for runners, utilizing customized programs to address common running-related injuries, prevent future problems, and optimize your running performance.

Our Techniques: Restoring Balance and Function

Our therapists are proficient in a variety of manual therapy techniques, including:

• Myofascial Release: This specialized technique involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to release tension and restrictions in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, organs, and other structures. Myofascial release can alleviate pain, improve mobility, and reduce inflammation.
• Joint Mobilization & Manipulation: These hands-on techniques involve skilled movement of the joints to restore normal range of motion, reduce stiffness, and alleviate pain.
• Neural Therapy: This technique focuses on releasing tension and restrictions in the nervous system, which can improve nerve function, reduce pain, and enhance motor control.
• Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF): This method uses specific patterns of movement and resistance to enhance muscle coordination, strength, and flexibility.
• Postural Correction & Ergonomics: We assess your posture and identify any imbalances that may be contributing to your pain or dysfunction. We provide personalized advice and exercises to improve your posture, reduce strain on your body, and prevent future injury.

Alongside manual therapy, we incorporate a variety of other modalities to support your healing process, such as therapeutic exercise, stretching, balance and coordination training, and corrective stretches.
