Manual Therapy
Within the physical therapy profession, manual therapy is defined as a clinical approach utilizing skilled, specific hands-on techniques, including but not limited to manipulation and mobilization. Physical therapists use manual therapy to diagnose and treat soft tissues as well as joint structures for the purpose of: modulating pain; increasing range of motion (ROM); reducing or eliminating soft tissue inflammation; inducing relaxation; enhancing contractile and non-contractile tissue repair; and improving extensibility, stability, and function for the facilitation of movement.
