Physical Therapy at Hands-On Health: Restoring Mobility and Relieving Pain

Malia Grimes

At Hands-On Health – Massage and Physical Therapy in High Point, NC, we believe that true healing goes beyond machines and standard protocols. Our approach to physical therapy is different — it’s hands-on, deeply personalized, and holistic. If you’re struggling with chronic pain, limited mobility, or recovering from surgery, our manual therapy methods can help you regain movement and feel better, faster.

What is Physical Therapy at Hands-On Health?

Unlike traditional PT clinics that often rely on machines and repetitive exercises, our physical therapy sessions start with a comprehensive, holistic assessment to understand the root cause of your pain and movement restrictions. From there, we create a customized treatment plan using proven manual therapy techniques that are tailored to your body’s unique needs.

Our manual therapy methods include:

Neuromuscular (Trigger Point) Therapy — We target painful muscle knots that limit motion and cause referred pain.

Myofascial Release — This technique releases restrictions in connective tissue (fascia) to restore flexibility and ease discomfort.

Deep Tissue Techniques with Heated Bamboo Sticks — We use slow, deep strokes and therapeutic heat to penetrate deep muscle layers and relieve chronic tension.

Joint Mobilization — Gentle movements that help restore joint flexibility and reduce stiffness.

Neural Mobilization — This specialized technique addresses the nervous system, which plays a critical role in controlling muscle function, pain signals, and movement patterns.

Relaxation Techniques Based on Current Pain Science — We use evidence-based strategies to calm the nervous system and reduce pain perception.

Targeted, Personalized Exercises — These are not one-size-fits-all exercises; they’re crafted for you based on your needs, posture, and body mechanics.

Patient Education — One of the most powerful tools for recovery. We teach you how to understand your pain, why it happens, and how you can take charge of your own healing.
