Manual therapy is a physical treatment that involves specialized and skilled hands-on techniques that include:

Passive movements, stretching, and myofascial release of soft tissue structures such as muscles to increase flexibility, range of motion, and induce relaxation
Joint mobilization, manipulation, and traction to alleviate pain, improve mobility, reduce restrictions, and decrease swelling and inflammation.

Physical therapists determine and implement manual therapy techniques based on their evaluation findings to address these impairments and enhance physical performance, wellness and fitness, and help patients to return to function without restrictions or pain.
