Manual Therapy

Physical therapy helps manage the physical side of the inflammation, stiffness and soreness by using exercise and manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization.

Joyce and Joy are unique in their practice as they offer manual therapy and hands-on techniques associated with their specialized training to assess and treat their patients to help facilitate the recovery process.
