Experience the power of hands-on care with Elite PT North's Manual Therapy services. From joint mobilization to dry needling and cupping, our expert therapists target the root of pain to restore movement and improve performance.
At Elite PT, we specialize in manual physical therapy, a hands-on approach to healing that targets the root causes of pain and dysfunction. Our licensed therapists use proven techniques to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve overall mobility—without relying on medication or invasive procedures.
Manual therapy is a clinical approach utilizing skilled, specific hands-on techniques, including but not limited to manipulation/mobilization, used by the physical therapist to assess and treat soft tissues and joint structures for the purpose of modulating pain; increasing range of motion (ROM); reducing or eliminating soft tissue inflammation; improving contractile and noncontractile tissue repair, extensibility, and/or stability; facilitating movement; and improving function.
Techniques include but are not limited to soft tissue and joint mobilization, muscle energy and neural tension techniques, manual resistive exercise, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF).
We offer a comprehensive range of advanced manual therapies, including:
Functional Dry Needling involves the insertion of a thin filament needle to stimulate the healing process of soft tissues (muscle “trigger points”, fascia, tendons, and ligaments, etc) resulting in pain relief and restoration of healthy physiology. Research supports that dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, normalizes biochemical and electrical dysfunction of motor endplates, and facilitates an accelerated return to active rehabilitation.
Graston Technique uses unique instruments that enable the treatment of scar tissue and fascial restrictions during rehabilitation. This allows for faster recovery to successfully restore range of motion, pain reduction, and functional restoration.
Cupping is a treatment technique that can increase blood flow and decrease muscle tension in the area of soft tissue or joint restriction. One benefit of cupping compared to other forms of soft tissue treatments is that it can be coupled with functional movements, allowing for quicker restoration of normal movement patterns with less pain.
