Frequently Asked Questions
How is manual therapy different from massage?
Massage generally aims at relaxation. Manual therapy is clinical — a physical therapist working specific joints and tissues identified in your evaluation, documented as part of your plan of care, not a general rubdown.
Does manual therapy hurt?
Some techniques involve firm pressure and a moment of discomfort, but it should never go past what you can tolerate — tell your therapist and the intensity gets adjusted, no toughing it out required.
Is manual therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage for manual therapy varies by plan and clinical circumstances. Call us with your insurance card so we can confirm applicable authorization, documentation, and coverage requirements.
