MANUAL THERAPY
In the physical therapy field, Manual Therapy is utilizing skilled, hands-on techniques.
What is Manual Therapy?
Is a highly effective form of treatment helping people recover and prevent injury and it has been critical to my patient’s success.
Why me?
My approach is to evaluate more than just where you hurt or have movement issues but to find the origin of your problem and help restore normal and pain-free movement. It can take years of hands-on learning, and practice to become effective and efficient in performing complex manual therapy techniques. Equally important is to know what, why, and how you are going to treat a specific problem and person. I'm a physical therapist that possesses this knowledge due to their Fortunately my decades of practice, clinical pattern recognition, advanced training, and continuing education have all helped me help my patients over the years.
