What Sets Our Manual Therapy Apart?
Manual therapy at Radius targets the fascia—the connective tissue web that surrounds your muscles, ligaments, and joints. Because fascia doesn’t get much blood flow, injuries to it often don’t heal on their own. That’s why the hands-on work we do is so important—and so effective. It helps:
Break up adhesions
Restore tissue glide and joint mobility
Improve circulation to stubborn soft tissue areas
Recalibrate dysfunctional movement patterns
Unlike standardized “brand name” certifications, our providers have studied multiple modalities and refined their methods over time, tailoring care to what works best for your body. This includes insights from:
Active Release Technique (ART)
Myofascial Release
Structural Integration
Graston Technique
Chiropractic Adjustments
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
Functional Range Conditioning (FRC)
Beyond Massage: How Radius Uses Targeted Manual Therapy to Free Up Your Movement and Reduce Pain
In Nevada County, we live actively—and sometimes, that active lifestyle comes with aches, tightness, or injuries that just don’t resolve with rest. At Radius Physical + Sports Rehab, we take a hands-on approach to healing through highly targeted manual therapy and joint manipulation, restoring movement, reducing pain, and helping our community return to doing what they love.
This isn’t a quick massage or general adjustment. It’s precise, informed care, guided by real diagnostics and years of experience.
