Our Philosophy

At Hands On Physical Therapy, we are committed to providing the highest quality of physical therapy to our clients. Using a biomechanical, whole body approach, we arrive at what we believe is the origin of our patients’ symptoms. Then using gentle manual therapy techniques, we work to restore normal joint function and neuromuscular balance.  We believe that it is necessary to address alignment and movement, as well as flexibility and strength in order to achieve the best results.  Our clients work together with us by their involvement in practical home exercise routines.  

We believe that our approach helps create the proper environment for the body to heal itself.  The body can heal better when it can move uninhibited by alignment problems or neural, muscular or fascial tensions.  In the words of C.S. Lewis in his book, Miracles:  “The magic is not in the medicine but in the patient’s body--in the vis medicatrix naturae, the recuperative or self-corrective energy of nature.”  What the treatment does is to stimulate natural functions or to remove what hinders them.
