Encinitas Physical Therapy offers specialized treatment that can resolve your condition efficiently and effectively. We are manual therapy specialists; we use hands-on techniques that relieve pain, release adhesions, and restore normal joint and soft tissue mobility. To determine the appropriate treatment, we carefully evaluate to understand the condition before we start treatment and during the course of treatment.

Our specialized evaluations uncover biomechanical, structural or movement deficits causing symptoms. There can be excessive compression of joints, painful trigger points, loss of flexibility, imbalanced structures, or persistent inflammation. The symptoms may arise from the local tissue or be referred from a distant structure. There may be nerve involvement, adhesions from surgical scars, lymph congestion, or a variety of other causes. Although many conditions are straightforward, for the more complex conditions, we need to be like a detective to really understand what’s causing and perpetuating the problem. This evaluation determines the specific treatment that will be most effective in resolving it.

We offer focused, hands-on care from your Physical Therapist during the entire session. We do not use aides or assistants, and you can continue seeing the same therapist throughout your treatment. Our team is highly trained in advanced techniques such as Soft Tissue Mobilization, Joint Mobilization, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, and Visceral Manipulation, which often succeed where other approaches have not. Located in Encinitas since 1984, we proudly serve the greater San Diego area.
