Our Services
Here at The Manual Method Physical Therapy we employ the Manual Method, hands on 1:1 with a skilled PT assessing all manner of compensation and truly getting down to the root that led to the injury in the first place.
Manual Method
The Manual Method is a unique treatment technique to address multiple different body systems. Most physical therapy is simply massage and exercise. The Manual Method encompasses much more. It is working with your body’s natural resources, including your nervous system, digestive, diaphragmatic breathing, hormones and joint mechanics. Injuries do not happen in a vacuum. The more chronic an injury is, the more involved/ stressed our body systems become. The Manual Method uses multiple different modalities to include Cranial Sacral, Myofascial Release, Strain Counterstrain, Muscle Energy, nervous system modulation via the Vagus nerve and sympathetic trunk, and traditional orthopedic treatments to make sure we are addressing the whole picture. Every patient that walks through our doors, is more than just their injury. Let us at RDB Physical therapy show you what the Manual Method can do for you!
The Importance of the Pelvis
Workers Compensation
Services for the employee
A work conditioning session will last anywhere from 2 to 4 hours and be performed 3 to 5 days a week. The program is usually 2-4 weeks. The program includes cardiovascular/ endurance training, flexibility, and strengthening in combination with work simulation type activities. THese simulations are individually designed to mimic their work environment and prepare them to return to work and reduce risk for reinjury. The program is designed by the PT and kinesiology specialist.
Functional Capacity evaluations – An FCE is a comprehensive evaluation to determine an injured worker’s ability to function in a work environment and ability/capacity to perform various aspects of the job demands.
