Manual Therapy
Precise clinical touch to release stubborn fascial restrictions, mobilize stiff joints, and reset hypertonic muscle spasm.
The Power of Skilled Clinical Hands
Manual therapy is the bedrock of orthopaedic physical therapy. When joints lock or soft tissues adhere due to micro-trauma, posture, or surgical scarring, exercise alone cannot overcome mechanical restrictions without causing compensatory irritation.
Dr. Priyanka Patel employs evidence-based manual therapy techniques—including Maitland and Mulligan joint mobilization concepts—to gently restore normal accessory arthrokinematic gliding. This stimulates joint mechanoreceptors, dampens pain signaling in the central nervous system, and opens the door for pain-free active movement.
Techniques We Utilize
Joint Mobilization (Grades I–IV)
Passive, rhythmic oscillatory movements applied to facet joints, hips, shoulders, and ankles to restore capsule elasticity and ease joint stiffness.
Myofascial Trigger Point Release
Ischemic compression and deep cross-fiber friction to release persistent knots in overworked muscle bellies such as the upper trapezius, piriformis, and calves.
Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)
Active patient-assisted contractions against controlled resistance to lengthen shortened muscles and correct minor joint subluxations gently.
