We prioritize hands-on, manual therapy as a key part of our treatment approach because of its proven benefits in helping patients heal faster and move better.

Manual therapy techniques—such as joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and trigger point release—allow our skilled clinicians to directly address pain, stiffness, and muscular imbalances at the source.

This personalized, one-on-one care helps restore function, improve mobility, and reduce inflammation without relying solely on passive treatments or machines. By offering expert manual therapy, IMPACT ensures every patient receives a more targeted and effective recovery plan tailored to their unique needs.
