Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used in physical therapy to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and restore normal movement. Techniques may include joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and guided movement to address stiffness, restrictions, or pain following injury or surgery.

At Expedition Physical Therapy, manual therapy is provided 1-on-1 by a licensed physical therapist and is integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan. Hands-on care is used purposefully—combined with movement, exercise, and education—to support long-term recovery rather than short-term relief alone.
