Manual Physical Therapist in Baltimore

When you go for manual physical therapy, your therapist will ask about your symptoms and medical history. She will then perform a physical examination, which will include assessing your total body movement patterns, specific joint range of motion, strength, and muscle tone. The therapist may also test sensation, reflexes, and limb volume and texture.

Manual physical therapy usually involves a combination of hands-on techniques and exercises. The therapist will use their hands to help move your joints and muscles, loosen up stiff areas, and improve blood flow. She may also give you exercises to do at home. Manual physical therapy can help improve symptoms like stiffness, pain, and limitation in movement. It can also help you recover more quickly from an injury.

The number of sessions you will need depends on the severity of your symptoms and your overall health. A typical course of manual physical therapy may last for six to eight weeks, with one to two sessions per week. However, some people may need more or less frequent sessions depending on their individual needs.

The cost of manual physical therapy will vary depending on the number of sessions you need and your out-of-network insurance coverage. Many insurance plans with out-of-network coverage will cover at least a portion of the cost of manual physical therapy.

You should check with your insurance provider to see what type of coverage you have for this type of treatment. As a courtesy, you may also authorize us to check your coverage for your clinic visits on your behalf at our link here.
