Hands-On Care
What Manual Therapy Is
Manual therapy is hands-on physical therapy that directly addresses joint mobility, muscle tension, and fascial restriction (tightness in the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and joints). Unlike exercise-only therapy, Jamie can assess and treat how the tissue moves in real time.
Techniques Jamie may use include:
- Joint mobilization — gentle hands-on movement of a stiff joint
- Soft tissue mobilization — hands-on work to calm tight or guarded muscle
- Myofascial release — hands-on treatment for restricted connective tissue
Why Jamie Uses Manual Therapy as a Core Technique
Jamie's specialist training makes hands-on assessment a central part of his practice, not an add-on. Feeling how a joint, muscle, or movement pattern responds lets him make the rest of your plan more precise. Manual therapy often creates the window of motion that makes exercise work better.
