About Us
At Hands On Physical Therapy and Advanced Massage Therapy, we believe there is no set prescription for wellness for any given condition or diagnosis. We do believe there is unique pathway for each individual that leads them to their optimum health. Our “one therapist for one hour” manual therapy approach has made us a unique model of excellent client care by our highly trained staff.
We utilize manual therapy techniques as a primary tool for decreasing pain and correction of structural and muscular imbalances. As balance is restored, we are able to effectively retrain functional movement patterns with personalized movement and strengthening programs. Restoration of musculoskeletal balance is key to what makes us unique and different from most Physical/Occupational Therapy practices. Without the manual therapy approach the dysfunctional pattern is strengthened thereby causing more pain and dysfunction.
The Hands On Approach
In our lifespan we travel through many stages of development and throughout those stages we span the continuum of health and sickness. Wherever you happen to be on that continuum, we are committed to creating a plan with you that aids in consistently achieving your optimal health and well being.
We utilize The John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach as our primary manual therapy tool to restore function and vitality to the body along with many other advanced manual techniques including but not limited to: Cranio sacral therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Lymphatic drainage, soft tissue mobilization, and dry needling technique. Our therapists have various areas of specialty including Women’s and Men’s Health.
