What are the benefits of manual therapy?

Depending on the goal, manual therapy can achieve many different outcomes. For stiff joints, manual therapy can help improve range of motion, improve flexibility, and improve functional range. For the inflamed joints, manual therapy can reduce inflammation and pain by reducing muscle tension. Manual therapy can also be utilized to train the body and joints to move correctly and in a way that is less painful and more functional.
