Manual Therapy In Frisco
Expert Manual Therapy Services in Frisco & Dallas, TX
At Ace Physical Therapy and Wellness, we provide advanced Manual Therapy for patients across Frisco. Our clinicians combine traditional physical therapy with specialized osteopathic techniques to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help you return to full function. Every approach we use is grounded in current research and delivered through skilled, hands-on care.
What Is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a focused, hands-on branch of physical therapy that targets pain, stiffness, and movement limitations. Instead of relying on passive modalities, manual therapy works directly with your joints, muscles, and connective tissues to restore healthy motion and improve overall function.
Our therapists are trained in a wide range of osteopathic manual therapy methods, including:
-
Joint Manipulation for improved motion and pain relief
-
Joint Mobilization using graded techniques to decrease stiffness
-
Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) to restore alignment and mobility
-
Strain Counter-Strain for reducing tension and easing pain
-
Myofascial Mobilization to release restrictions and improve movement
These techniques are reinforced with therapeutic exercise, patient education, and interventions such as dry needling for comprehensive, long-lasting results.

We had a wonderful experience at ACE Physical Therapy. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were able to fit Ayden in on very short notice and even scheduled his appointments around his track schedule to make sure his leg muscles stayed in top shape. He had tightness before some major competitions, and they provided dry needling and other treatments that really helped him perform at his best. We are so grateful for their support and highly recommend them!

I went to Ace Physical Therapy and Wellness because of a knee injury. Before going, I didn’t know what to expect or if therapy without surgery will help my knee. The entire staff were very friendly, accommodating, relatable and most of all professional. I felt like family each time I walked through the door. With both onsite and home exercise plan built for me, my knee starting feeling much better by the second week to my surprise. They are a great team and I will recommend them to anyone needing help.
