What is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy delivered with the hands instead of a device or machine. It includes a range of techniques such as joint manipulations and mobilizations, massage, and stretching. The primary goal of manual therapy is to decrease pain, improve mobility, and restore function in the musculoskeletal system.
