Orthopedic Manual Therapy

At Anchor Physical Therapy our therapists are all trained in manual therapy techniques. What this means to the patient is that you will be treated with a hands on approach. This allows us to treat misalignments of the spine and pelvic girdle along with movement dysfunctions which can be caused by joint and soft tissue restrictions. Your therapist is trained to perform joint mobilizations to the spine, pelvic girdle, shoulder, hip, knee, ribs and all joints in the body. We also address soft tissue restrictions, injuries, and muscle imbalances through soft tissue release, mobilization, and massage. Some facilities only offer exercise and modalities, and others only the manual piece. At Anchor patients are treated with a combination of manual therapy, exercises, and modalities and thus they tend to improve more quickly. This also leads to a more permanent resolution of the injury or orthopedic problem.
