What Is Manual and Massage Therapy?

Manual therapy is a type of physical therapy that uses hands-on techniques to treat the muscles, joints, and connective tissues. Massage therapy is a manual therapy that uses pressure and strokes to release tension in the muscles. These two forms of physical therapy can be combined or used separately to help treat a wide range of conditions, from back pain and arthritis to sports injuries and post-surgery recovery. At our clinics, we offer both manual therapy and massage services to help patients with various health conditions.

Benefits of Manual Therapy and Massage

Our treatments may be beneficial in treating joints with restricted mobility and range of motion in certain musculoskeletal circumstances. This limitation can cause discomfort and an alteration in function, posture, and movement. Manual therapy and massage services aim to restore joint mobility and reduce muscle tightness to allow the patient to move freely again. The benefits of these services can be divided into two main categories.

Soft Tissue

This involves massage therapy that applies pressure to the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. This technique is designed to help relax muscles, improve circulation, break up scar tissue, and relieve discomfort in the soft tissues.

Manipulation

With manipulation techniques, a therapist applies precise movements of varying force, speed, and distances to pull, push, or twist joints and bones into position. This technique is used to loosen tight tissues around a joint, reducing discomfort and improving flexibility, movement, and alignment.

How Does Manual Therapy Work?

Our physical therapist certified in orthopedic manual therapy will lead the session with hands-on techniques rather than modalities. Manual physical therapists utilize their hands to apply pressure on muscular tissue and massage joints to reduce pain resulting from muscle spasms, tense joints, or tight muscles. When you visit our clinic, a manual physical therapist will assess your condition and create a treatment plan that includes a variety of techniques, such as stretching, range-of-motion exercises, massage, and joint manipulation.

Are Manual Therapy and Massage Services Right for You?

Manual therapy and massage services are an excellent alternative for those who prefer a more hands-on approach to treatment. If you are suffering from chronic pain, muscle tension, or joint stiffness and have not found relief through other forms of treatment, it may be time to consider reaching out to a manual physical therapist for help.

PHYSICAL THERAPY FAQS

What is physical therapy and what does it do?

Physical therapy consists of different treatments designed to enhance the soft tissues, build muscle strength, and reduce pain. Physical therapy is commonly recommended for neck pain, back pain, sports injuries, and injuries resulting from car accidents.

Does insurance cover physical therapy costs?

Insurance companies are not required to cover physical therapy. However, many plans do offer coverage for treatment at specific facilities like ours. If you're looking into our Miami physical therapy clinic and have insurance questions, feel free to ask an expert during your consultation appointment with us.

How many physical therapy sessions do I need?

The number of physical therapy sessions you need will depend on your injury and the severity of it. We will work with you to help determine a treatment plan that is right for you so that you can get back to optimal health as soon as possible.

What to expect after the therapy?

After you finish your physical therapy sessions, we will likely provide you with post-therapy recommendations such as exercises to do at home and in the gym. We know that sometimes it can be difficult for our patients to schedule a second appointment with us after completing their treatment plan, so we want to ensure you are well equipped with all of the necessary knowledge before going back to your normal routine.
