Manual Physical Therapist Near Me: A Hands-On Approach

Experiencing pain and looking for a manual physical therapist near you?

If you suffer from either sudden or ongoing pain in your spine, neck, shoulder, knee or foot, you could benefit from manual therapy. Manual physical therapy provides several benefits for both athletes and all others who are suffering with acute to chronic pain.

Let’s take a look at some techniques used in manual physical therapy and whether it is right for you.

What is Manual Physical Therapy?

Manual physical therapy is comprised of hands-on techniques that a therapist utilizes to help patients decrease pain, improve movement and ultimately the quality of life.  Manual therapy also aids in reducing inflammation and the restrictive impact of scar tissue. 

Current research shows that manual therapy, when combined with therapeutic exercise, provides a beneficial outcome for patients.

Who is a Candidate for Manual Physical Therapy?

Are you struggling with an injury that seems slow to heal? Or you have an old injury that just never healed properly? Maybe it feels as if a part of your body (shoulder or hip for example) feels “stuck” and unable to function as properly as it should? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may discover that manual therapy can help provide some relief. 

Before your first appointment with a Twin Boro physical therapist, there are a few things to consider. 

  1. Ensure your insurance company will cover your physical therapy services. 
  2. Fill out our new patient forms.
  3. Come prepared to have one of our expert manual physical therapists administer an evaluation while listening to your concerns. 
  4. Wear comfortable clothing that properly allows for movement. 

This process will help determine if you are a candidate for manual physical therapy or an alternate treatment for your condition.
