What Is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a hands-on technique employed by physical therapists to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and restore function. This specialized method involves the skilled manipulation of soft tissues, joints, and muscles to address the underlying causes of discomfort. At ADAPT Wellness, we customize our manual therapy sessions to meet your individual needs, ensuring effective treatment.
How Does Manual Therapy Work?
Our licensed physical therapist utilizes a range of techniques during manual therapy, including:
- Soft Tissue Mobilization: To relieve muscle tension and boost circulation.
- Joint Mobilization: To improve range of motion of joints.
- Myofascial Release: To ease stiffness of connective tissues and reduce pain.
- Trigger Point Release: To target specific areas of pain and tightness of muscles.
- Glide Cupping: Can help improve blood flow and reduce fascial restrictions.
Each session is tailored to focus on your body and its specific needs.
Who Can Benefit From Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is particularly beneficial for those experiencing:
- Pain ( back, neck, hip, knee, shoulder or pelvic pain)
- Recovery after surgery
- Sports-related injuries
- Joint stiffness or arthritis
- Muscle tension or spasms

Whether you’re coping with an old injury or facing new discomfort, manual therapy can be an effective and safe solution for relief.
