Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy is a term with many definitions depending upon what setting it is used in.  At Blue Valley Physical Therapy our approach to manual therapy is the hands on mobilization technique that accesses the quality of joint motion.  This joint motion called arthokinematics, is imperative for normal functioning of the body. 
Manual therapy can also be used to access the quality of soft tissue such as scar tissue, muscles, tendons, or ligaments.  If a patient is found to have limitation of the joints or soft tissue, it can cause pain and dysfunction. Blue Valley Physical Therapy will work to restore this basic function to decrease your pain.

Most orthopedic conditions can benefit from manual therapy.

• Back and Neck pain
• Post fracture sites
• Scar adhesions
