What is manual therapy?

Manual therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy where skilled therapists use their hands to manipulate and mobilize soft tissues and joints. This approach helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and facilitate recovery.

 

What types of orthopedic and sports injuries do you treat?

We treat a wide range of orthopedic and sports injuries, including sprains, strains, tendonitis, capsulitis, and more. Our therapists implement personalized treatment plans to help you recover and return to your sport safely.

 

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

As an independent PT-owned practice, it is best to check with your doctor or specialist to provide you with a PT referral. In some cases, you do not need a referral to receive physical therapy. However, we advise that you check with your insurance provider, as some plans may have specific requirements.

 

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required varies by individual and condition. After an initial assessment, our therapists will develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines the recommended frequency and duration of sessions.

 

Can I continue my workouts while in therapy?

Yes, but it's essential to communicate with your therapist about your workout routines. They can advise you on modifications to ensure you are not exacerbating your condition.

How can spinal rehabilitation help me?

Spinal rehabilitation focuses on restoring function and strength to the spine through targeted exercises and manual therapy. It can help alleviate pain, improve posture, and enhance overall mobility.


How long does a typical session last?

A typical therapy session lasts between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on your specific treatment plan and needs.


What should I wear to my therapy sessions?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows for movement. Athletic wear is often a good choice, as it enables easy access to the areas being treated.


Will my insurance cover treatment?

Many insurance plans cover physical therapy. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
