Your Path to Wellness Through Manual Therapy
The therapists at Bodyworks Physical Therapy utilize research-based manual therapy programs and techniques. By definition, manual therapy is the art and science of one-on-one, hands-on interaction between a physical therapist and a patient. The physical therapist uses specific evidence-based techniques to evaluate and treat soft tissue imbalances and joint injuries.
Tailored Treatments for Lasting Results
The treatments we will use to relieve your pain and restore function are based heavily on the osteopathic philosophy that the body functions as an integrated unit. By evaluating and treating dysfunction within the musculoskeletal, myofascial and nervous systems, we can often alleviate pain and ailments in patients who otherwise couldn’t be helped by conventional physical therapy. Some of the techniques used at Bodyworks Physical Therapy include Muscle Energy Technique, Joint Mobilization, Myofascial Release, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), and Strain Counterstrain.
