Manual Therapy Program
Manual Therapy is a more specialized form of hands-on physical therapy that incorporates specific soft tissue and joint mobilization techniques.
The Orthopedic Manual Therapy program at PRORehab has continued to grow as more of our therapists have sought certification through the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (NAIOMT). Currently, there are 19 certified Orthopedic Manual Therapists practicing at PRORehab. That number only continues to grow.
