Current research supports that the addition of Austin manual therapy to a specialized exercise program is more beneficial than exercise alone in the treatment of orthopedic injuries. This can reduce inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the affected area. Manual physical therapy can also help restore lost range of motion by stretching the muscles and joints, helping to improve flexibility.
Another key benefit of manual physical therapy is its ability to accelerate the recovery process so that patients can return to their favorite activities or sports. By helping to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the affected area, manual therapy can help people get back to their normal activities faster, reducing the amount of time they are off work or out of commission due to their injury or condition. Lastly, Austin manual physical therapy can also be used to help prevent future injuries. Through stretching, strengthening, and balance exercises, physical therapists can help strengthen weak areas and improve coordination, helping to reduce the risk of future injuries.

Manual therapy is a subset of physical therapy. Many people think it’s something different, but it’s actually part of the physical therapy family! In this kind of therapy, a physical therapist is more “hands-on” and works with their hands on the patient to help provide treatment. Several other techniques are more “hands-off,” where patients can do the exercises or movements themselves. Some “hands-off” methods require equipment or tools where most work is done by the patient and the physical therapist assists. Our physical therapists come equipped with all these tools, so you never have to work about bringing anything except yourself to your manual therapy appointments!
Examples of manual Therapy (“hands-on techniques”) include the following:
Studies show that manual therapy is very effective. For example, one study published in Physical Therapy Effectiveness conducted by Paolo Bizzarri and Andrea Foglia states, “Manual Therapy is an extremely effective therapeutic method in managing patients with pain and musculoskeletal disorders. Manual therapy can have a very positive effect, leading to rapid and significant improvements when properly applied in accordance with the specific clinical picture and the individual patient.”
