Muscle tension, joint stiffness, chronic pain, and restricted movement often need hands-on treatment that stretching and exercise alone can't fix. Novaré Injury Care and Rehab provides manual therapy using targeted soft tissue and joint techniques to reduce pain, restore mobility, and support recovery from injuries and chronic conditions.
Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment where a trained provider uses precise movements to assess and treat soft tissues, joints, and muscles. It includes techniques like joint mobilization, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and soft tissue manipulation.
You may need manual therapy if you're dealing with any of these:
Our trained therapists and Dr. Bracic use multiple manual therapy techniques based on your diagnosis and what your body needs.
Sustained pressure applied to connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. Effective for chronic tightness, post-surgical adhesions, and accident injuries.
Gentle, controlled movements applied to joints to increase range of motion and reduce stiffness. Different from chiropractic adjustments in that it uses graded oscillations rather than a single thrust.
Focused pressure on specific muscular knots that refer pain to other areas of the body. A trigger point in your shoulder can cause headaches. We find the source and release it.
Targeted work on muscles, tendons, and ligaments to break down adhesions, improve circulation, and reduce swelling. Often used alongside chiropractic adjustments and laser therapy.

“I have suffered with scoliosis and a multitude of bulging discs in my spine for years now due to many car accidents... I have made more healing progress in the past five months than I did in the past few years thanks to them.”
