Manual Therapy

Alleviates Pain

Manual therapy helps improve range of motion, decrease tension, and promote healing, leading to enhanced pain relief and helping you get back to your regular activities.

Decreases Muscle Tension

Through manual therapy, the CURE Physical Therapy team can help release adhesions and scar tissues. In turn, this alleviates fascia and muscle tension.

Promotes Healing

Manual therapy increases circulation in the body, bringing all the cells and nutrients necessary to the affected area, accelerating the healing process.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Before any treatment takes place, your CURE physical therapist will perform a thorough initial assessment, diagnosing the issue and identifying any weak areas.

For each patient's optimal comfort, every treatment and evaluation takes place one-on-one, in a private treatment room, ensuring your confidentiality every step of the way.

Your assessment will involve hands-on palpation, allowing your physical therapist a direct and easy way to evaluate your swelling and inflammation.

At CURE Physical Therapy, our all-female staff offer a friendly and caring environment, putting your needs and goals first.

How Manual Therapy Works

Our team at CURE Physical Therapy uses specific manual therapy techniques to reduce musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. The primary aim of manual therapy is to restore the flow of fluid to the affected muscle or joint in order to improve movement. Manual therapy uses both manipulation and mobilization to improve or restore movement to the joint.



Generally, our certified team will first observe the patient’s movements carefully to identify problems with range of motion. From there, hands-on techniques are used to further assess the area. After a thorough assessment, our team determines the appropriate manual therapy suited to you and your condition or injury, guiding you toward a full recovery.

Why Manual Therapy?

Generally, we have a tendency to instinctively guard the part of our body that hurts – our experts refer to this as ‘favoring’ the muscle. When patients favor a sore or painful joint, the joint is usually in a state of constant contraction. The muscle is then deprived of crucial nutrients and oxygen which, in turn, results in hardness and stiffness.


Keeping the inflamed or sore joint immobile leads to further stiffness and other issues. Manual therapy, on the other hand, helps warm up the joint and facilitates fluid flow. This type of treatment is usually recommended before physical therapy or exercise.



The hands-on approach goes beyond skilled treatment and builds a connection with the patient that aids the healing process. Manual therapy and physical therapy have their own advantages, but they facilitate rapid healing and successful recovery when used together.
