About

At Global Clinic, manual therapy isn't a side treatment — it's the foundation of everything we do.

With 15 dedicated treatment rooms built exclusively for hands-on care, our licensed physical therapists bring focused, one-on-one attention to every single session.

Working directly with you, our therapists identify the root cause of your pain and build a personalized manual therapy plan designed to restore movement, reduce discomfort, and deliver results that last.

What Is Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a specialized, hands-on approach to physical rehabilitation where trained therapists use their hands — not machines — to evaluate and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

Unlike conventional physical therapy clinics that rely heavily on equipment and group-style sessions, manual therapy involves direct, skilled techniques applied to muscles, joints, and soft tissue to restore proper movement and relieve pain at the source.

At Global Clinic, our therapists are trained in a wide range of manual therapy techniques to address conditions including:

Work Injuries

We also provide manual therapy care for patients recovering from auto accidents

Soft tissue injuries and spinal misalignments sustained during a collision are often not immediately apparent. Without targeted hands-on treatment, these injuries can worsen over time. Early manual therapy intervention can make a significant difference in recovery speed and long-term outcomes.

Is This Service Right for Me?

Manual therapy at Global Clinic is not a one-size-fits-all program.

Our physical therapists take the time to review your medical history, understand your pain patterns, and assess your functional limitations before recommending a treatment approach. Because manual therapy is highly individualized, this evaluation step ensures you receive the most effective techniques for your specific condition.

For most patients dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, or recovery from injury, manual therapy offers a faster, more targeted path to healing than passive treatment alone. Our therapists will walk you through expected outcomes and design a continued care plan to help you maintain progress and stay pain-free long term.

What Can I Expect From the Treatment?

Dr. Slavin employs manual therapy, spinal decompression, and chiropractic adjustment techniques to restore your proper alignment.

These procedures are done in such a way as to be painless and effective. Often, patients describe feeling relaxed after a treatment session.
