Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used in treatment to address muscle and soft tissue pain, joint stiffness, and posture and to assist in efficient movement.

Physical and hand therapists incorporate manual therapy to assist a patient, restoring mobility, improving motor control, reducing pain, and improving movement efficiency. The benefits of manual therapy go beyond the skilled treatment to the qualities of physical touch and connection with a patient that contributes to healing. A trained and experienced physical therapist can treat a variety of musculoskeletal problems with the use of manual therapy.
