Manual therapy is a specialized, hands-on approach to diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, and dysfunction. Unlike passive treatments, it involves skilled techniques performed by licensed therapists to mobilize joints, release muscle tension, and improve circulation. Commonly used methods include:

• • Joint Mobilization: Gentle movements to restore joint flexibility.

• • Myofascial Release: Pressure applied to release tight connective tissue.

• • Soft Tissue Manipulation: Targeted massage to relieve muscle knots.

• • Trigger Point Therapy: Focused pressure on hyperirritable muscle points.

Popular in NYC for its effectiveness, manual therapy bridges the gap between traditional physical therapy and holistic wellness, offering drug-free, surgery-free solutions
