Manual therapy is a critical part of physical therapy because it addresses the joints and muscles of the body. If the joint or the muscle is not moving how it should, the body will not heal correctly and you will continue to have pain. As time goes on, this dysfunction in body motion causes other structures to break down more rapidly resulting in increased pain and dysfunction. Manual therapy techniques are required to get your joints and muscles moving how they should.
