Skilled hands-on care that frees you up.
Joint mobilization, soft-tissue release, and targeted hands-on techniques to reduce stiffness, quiet pain, and get your body moving again. Delivered one-on-one by a Doctor of Physical Therapy in your home.
Manual therapy is the hands-on heart of physical therapy: skilled, specific techniques applied directly to your joints, muscles, and connective tissue. The goal is to restore the normal mechanics that injury, surgery, or years of compensation have taken away. So you move better and hurt less.
It's also what gets squeezed out first in high-volume clinics, where a tech or aide often handles the hands-on work. At Reclaim, every minute of manual therapy is delivered by your doctor, with the time and attention to actually find and treat the restriction that matters.

Manual therapy questions
What exactly is manual therapy?
It's the hands-on portion of physical therapy. Skilled techniques like joint mobilization, soft-tissue release, cupping, and instrument-assisted work, applied directly to the structures limiting your movement.
Will it be painful?
Good manual therapy works with your body, not against it. Some techniques create a momentary 'good hurt' as a restriction releases, but your doctor adjusts pressure to your comfort throughout.
Is hands-on work enough on its own?
It's powerful, but the lasting results come from pairing it with the right exercises. Manual therapy opens the door; strength and movement work keep it open.
Who performs the treatment?
Always your Doctor of Physical Therapy. Never an aide, tech, or assistant. That's the whole point of the concierge model.
