A Hands-On Approach to Addressing Orthopedic Impairments
If you’ve recently suffered an injury to your musculoskeletal system, then you know how painful and debilitating they can be. Fortunately, Renue Physical Therapy offers orthopedic manual therapy (OMT) to help you relieve discomfort and restore function, no matter the source of your pain.
OMT is more than just a set of different techniques. Rather, it’s a detailed process that involves identifying the exact nature of your impairment, including any underlying causes, and then developing a comprehensive treatment plan that utilizes hands-on care and therapeutic exercise to help you find relief.

However, OMT works for more than just generalized joint pain. It can also be incredibly helpful in addressing the following conditions:
- Sports injuries
- Injuries from a motor vehicle accident
- Soft tissue injuries (such as strains and sprains)
- Sciatica
- Arthritis
- Nerve conditions (such as carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Headaches
What Can I Expect During Orthopedic Manual Therapy Sessions?
Orthopedic manual therapy is a systematic approach to helping you find relief. It begins with a comprehensive evaluation in which we discuss your symptoms and health history and perform several movement screens to help us better understand the exact nature of your condition. Our goal is to pinpoint the cause of your discomfort–that way, we can create an informed treatment plan.
Once we’ve completed the evaluation, we develop a customized treatment plan utilizing various manual therapy techniques, such as the following:
- Joint mobilizations
- Soft tissue manipulation
- Myofascial release
- Strain-counterstrain therapy
- Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)
- Dry needling
- Active Release Techniques (ART)
As you progress through your treatment, we will continually assess and evaluate which techniques are working for you and which aren’t–and then adjust accordingly. This process helps ensure you receive the care you need.
