Manipulative Therapy in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Manipulative therapy is a hands-on physiotherapy technique used to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and restore normal movement. At Scotia Physiotherapy in Halifax, manipulative therapy is performed by licensed physiotherapists following a thorough assessment to ensure it is safe, appropriate, and effective for your condition.
