What is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment approach that targets muscles, joints, and soft tissues to relieve pain, reduce tension, and improve mobility. Through various techniques, including joint mobilization, muscle stretching, and soft tissue manipulation, manual therapy helps restore balance to the body, promoting better function and overall well-being.
