Manual physical therapy is a specialized form of therapy which is performed with the hands as opposed to a mechanical device or equipment. It is a clinical approach that utilizes skilled, specific hands-on techniques that the therapists at Rehab Oasis have been educated and certified to perform in order to assess and treat dysfunctions of the neuromusculoskeletal system.

Benefits of Manual Therapy

Cases like back pain, whether they are chronic or acute, can be treated through manual therapy. There are no known side effects because the treatment is hands-on.
