Manual Therapy

At Evergreen Physiotherapy & Wellness we include a combination of treatment techniques to restore alignment, mobility and function to the body. These may include a combination of Manual Therapy, Visceral Manipulation and Craniosacral Therapy.

Manual Therapy

Physiotherapists are trained in this clinical approach and use specific, hands-on techniques to assess and treat the body. Massage and/or joint mobilization/manipulation are used to release fascia, muscle, nerves and joint restrictions. Other benefits of soft tissue techniques applied are to decrease pain and inflammation. Manual therapy can also be used to re-train muscles with cueing techniques that stimulate muscle activation and correct recruitment patterns.

The purpose of this Manual Therapy is to restore joint mobility and soft tissue integrity in order to allow correct alignment, pain free movement and improved functioning of the body.
