What Is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques used by our therapists to gently manipulate stiff joints, muscles, and tissues, helping to reduce pain and improve movement. These specialized techniques help reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. They also help improve the mobility of the affected joints, increasing your range of motion.
At our Houston facility, we use different techniques for manual therapy to relieve your painful symptoms. One of the major benefits is that this treatment modality is completely non-invasive, meaning we don’t use injections or harmful medications. Instead, our therapists use effective methods to gradually move your ligaments, tendons, and joints.

Manual Therapy Techniques
We use a variety of manual therapy techniques, each designed to help reduce pain and improve movement. Some common techniques include:
Manual Traction
While performing manual traction, our therapists will apply gentle force to a specific area of your body. It helps stretch the soft tissues in that region, reduce stiffness, and restore normal movement.
Mobilization
Accidents, severe injuries, or certain surgical procedures can affect joint mobility. Our trained therapists can improve the movement of the affected joints using mobility techniques. We will apply slow, gentle pressure to reduce joint stiffness and increase your range of motion.
Soft Tissue Massage
Soft tissue massages can help break up scar tissues and adhesions caused by injury or surgical procedures. They improve blood circulation of the affected soft tissues and muscles.
