Manual therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that involves the skilled use of hands-on techniques to assess, diagnose, and treat musculoskeletal conditions. At Revival Recovery & Rehabilitation, our practitioners employ a variety of manual therapy methods to address a wide range of issues, from acute injuries to chronic pain.

Key components of manual therapy include:

​

• Joint Mobilization and Manipulation: Techniques used to improve joint function, reduce pain, and increase range of motion by gently moving the joints in specific directions.

• Soft Tissue Mobilization: The application of pressure and movement to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to release tension, break up scar tissue, and improve flexibility.

• Myofascial Release: A technique focused on relieving pain and restoring motion by applying gentle sustained pressure to the myofascial connective tissue.

• Trigger Point Therapy: The identification and treatment of trigger points, or tender spots in the muscle, to alleviate pain and muscle spasms.

• Muscle Energy Techniques: A method that uses the patient's own muscle contractions to stretch and align the muscles and joints.

These techniques are often combined with other therapeutic approaches, such as exercise therapy and education, to provide a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each individual's needs. By addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction, manual therapy at Revival Recovery & Rehabilitation aims to restore optimal movement and enhance overall well-being.
