Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a cornerstone to our approach of helping you feel and perform your best.

What does manual therapy entail?

Manual therapy covers all our advanced, hands-on techniques that we use to decrease pain, improve mobility and optimize movement. Some of these techniques, such as trigger point therapy, are targeted towards decreasing muscle tension. Other techniques, such as joint manipulation and joint mobilizations, work to decrease pain and improve joint mobility to help you move better. Since every client is unique, every manual therapy approach is individualized to your specific needs.

How Does Manual Therapy Fit Into My Care?

For clients in pain or experiencing mobility deficits, manual therapy is often where we start since it plays a crucial role in decreasing pain and improving movement quickly. As pain and mobility improve, we begin integrating more “active” therapeutic exercise to target and resolve the underlying causes that brought you to Summit in the first place.
