hands-on techniques used by therapists to alleviate pain

Manual therapy in physical therapy involves hands-on techniques used by therapists to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore function. This treatment often includes joint mobilizations, manipulations, and soft tissue techniques to address musculoskeletal issues. By applying controlled pressure and movement, manual therapy aims to reduce muscle tension, enhance circulation, and promote healing, ultimately helping patients regain their strength and range of motion. This personalized approach is commonly used to complement other therapeutic exercises and interventions, providing a holistic path to recovery.
