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
Rachael Brown
Rachael is the founder of The Manual Method Physical Therapy and the Manual Method.
Rachael is a Reno native. She grew up playing sports and had her fair share of injuries and naturally fell into the world of physical therapy. Rachael always wanted to pursue physical therapy as a profession but it wasn’t until a head injury showed her what the art of physical therapy can do. When the numerous specialists couldn’t find the neat box that her symptoms fit into, she found a local physical therapist named Peter Barbieri. Peter truly treated the whole picture with an open mind.
