Explore Our Manual Therapy Techniques for Pain Relief and Recovery

Manual Therapy at Root & Branch Physical Therapy

​

At Root & Branch Physical Therapy, our hands-on techniques are designed to support repositioning, restore mobility, and calm the nervous system.

We are trained in a wide range of manual therapy approaches, including:

​

• Lymphatic drainage

• Myofascial release

• Trigger point release

• Soft tissue mobilization

• Joint mobilization

• Visceral manipulation

 

These techniques help reduce restriction in muscles, joints, fascia, and even internal organ systems that may be contributing to pain or movement limitations.

 

How This Integrates with PRI

​

While many clinics use manual therapy to treat symptoms locally, we use it strategically to support Postural Restoration (PRI) principles.

​

Manual techniques may be used to:

• Improve rib cage and diaphragm mobility to enhance breathing mechanics

• Reduce asymmetrical muscle tone that prevents repositioning

• Restore pelvic and thoracic mobility before corrective exercises

• Support autonomic nervous system regulation

 

Rather than being a standalone treatment, manual therapy at our clinic is integrated with PRI exercises and positional strategies — helping your body shift into a more balanced state so changes are sustainable, not temporary.

​

The goal isn’t just short-term relief. It’s lasting positional change and improved whole-body function.
