Manual Therapy

Manual therapy involves specialized hands-on techniques that target areas of your body that are limited in motion and works to improve your movement and reduce your pain. Manual therapy is especially beneficial if you are experiencing spine problems, joint injuries or other health conditions

Our expert physical therapist, Vickie M. Fairchild, provides gentle, specific, hands-on therapies to address muscle and joint injuries. This includes massage (soft tissue mobilization), joint mobilization and neuromuscular techniques to help you feel better.

 

Therapeutic Exercise

Part of the recovery process requires strengthening the weakened muscles of your injured or painful areas. This provides better support to the joints and prevents pain from recurring. Vickie has years of training in the use of gentle therapeutic exercises.
