Manual Physical Therapy – The Magic Touch


Often called “the magic touch”, manual physical therapy is important in the treatment of pain and immobility.

A physical therapist or physical therapist assistant will use their hands to put pressure on affected muscle tissues and joints.

Types of Manual Therapy

SOFT TISSUE MASSAGE applies pressure to relax muscles, increase circulation, break up scar tissue and relieve pain.

MANIPULATION uses movements of varying speed and force to pull or push bones and joints to increase mobility.

The skilled therapists at Body Balance Physical Therapy use manual therapy, as well as a personally tailored exercise program, to help you get rid of your pain and Move More, Live More!
