Manual Therapy (Mobilizations)

Manual therapy is utilizing skilled application of passive movement to a joint either within (mobilization) or beyond its range of motion (manipulation). Manual therapy is used to treat soft tissue and joints to reduce pain, decrease swelling, increase range of motion, help the body in muscle or soft tissue repair, facilitate movement to improve function, extensibility, and decrease myofascial restrictions to improve muscle length. Cupping is also a technique used that may help relieve muscle tension, promote cell repair, and aid in other regeneration.
