What Is Joint Manipulation Therapy?

Joint manipulation therapy is a hands-on treatment technique used to improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and restore proper movement patterns throughout the body.

When joints become restricted due to stress, poor posture, repetitive movement, injury, or inactivity, they can contribute to pain, tightness, and decreased mobility. Manipulation techniques help restore motion to affected joints while reducing tension and improving overall function.

At Active Family & Wellness, treatments are customized to your comfort level and movement needs to help improve how your body moves and feels.

How Does Joint Manipulation Therapy Work?

Every treatment begins with a detailed assessment to evaluate your mobility, posture, movement restrictions, and areas of discomfort.

During therapy, controlled hands-on techniques are applied to targeted joints to help improve movement, decrease stiffness, and reduce tension within the surrounding muscles and tissues. Many patients notice improved mobility and relief shortly after treatment.

CrossFit athlete returning to full training after injury with guidance from ACTive Family Physical Therapy

Mick has been more than a physical therapist at CF904. He has been a team mate, and someone who has involved himself with the community. He is constantly asking how certain members are doing after he has treated them. He is always communicating what to look out for for those members he has treated, and how to help them during class. As a business partner, he has been fantastic. As a therapist, he rises above. He isn’t a “treat you forever” therapist, but one who wants to get you fixed, healed, and on your way to continue accomplishing your goals. He is very conscious of what his clients take best to as far as treatment plans and is very sensitive....

CrossFit athlete and physician training together after completing a recovery program with ACTive Family Physical Therapy

I was considering surgery, but now I don't need it!
Mick helped me overcome chronic knee pain and swelling that was interferring with my daily activities. I never felt pressured or judged if I was unable to complete my assigned exercises between appointments. He also helped me understand why I was doing each exercise so I have the knowledge to help myself in the future if I have another injury.
As a healthcare provider, I appreciated Mick's willingness to be my physical therapist and also a trusted consultant. As a
provider who does CrossFit, Mick understands the movements and how to modify them appropriately to reach my goals.
10/10 would recommend, especially if you are a CrossFit athlete!
