At Altius, we believe the manual therapy component to PT plays a vital role in understanding your body, your injury and better enabling you to perform the exercises you need to recover.

Research evidence shows that competent manual therapies can help achieve faster results when coupled with a structured and well-designed exercise program. Our hands on techniques aim to reduce pain, enable motion and understand how things are progressing. Every therapist has their own repertoire of “tools,” and select what’s appropriate for each patient based on their injury and ability. Some of the techniques we employ:

• Graston Technique/IASTM
• Mulligan Mobilization with Movement
• McKenzie
• Manipulations
• Active Release
• Deep Tissue & Trigger Point Release
• Contract-Relax Stretching
• PNF and Rhythmic Stabilization
• Scar Massage
• Muscle Facilitation
