What is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a specialized, hands-on treatment designed to improve movement and function by directly addressing restrictions in muscles, joints, and connective tissue. Unlike passive treatments that only mask symptoms, manual therapy corrects mechanical dysfunctions that cause pain.
At Engram Therapy and Wellness Clinic, we customize every session to target your specific needs, ensuring lasting improvements in movement and strength.
Who Can Benefit from Manual Therapy in Chicago?
This therapy is ideal for individuals experiencing:
- Chronic or acute back and neck pain affecting daily activities.
- Joint stiffness or limited range of motion due to injury or overuse.
- Nerve-related discomfort, including sciatica.
- Postural imbalances causing strain and discomfort.
- Muscle tightness or soft tissue restrictions affecting flexibility.
If movement feels restricted, painful, or unbalanced, manual therapy provides a hands-on solution to help you move with ease again.
How Manual Therapy in Chicago Works
Our approach focuses on restoring function and eliminating restrictions through advanced hands-on techniques, including:
- Joint Mobilization – Enhances flexibility by reducing stiffness and improving joint mechanics.
- Myofascial Release – Targets deep muscle tension and scar tissue for better mobility.
- Soft Tissue Mobilization – Loosens tight muscles and improves circulation for pain relief.
- Neuromuscular Re-Education – Trains the body to move efficiently and avoid compensatory strain.
- Manual Traction – Relieves pressure on joints and nerves, reducing pain and restoring alignment.
Each session is carefully tailored to your condition, with continuous reassessment to ensure the most effective treatment for long-term relief.
The Risks of Delaying Treatment
Ignoring joint stiffness and muscular imbalances doesn’t make them go away—it makes them worse. Without intervention, you may experience:
- Increased pain and reduced flexibility over time.
- Worsening nerve irritation, leading to tingling, numbness, or shooting pain.
- Muscle compensations that create new areas of discomfort.
- Greater risk of long-term mobility loss.
The sooner you start treatment, the easier it is to restore function and prevent further damage.

Success Stories & Testimonials
“Carla is an amazing practitioner. She worked with my mother and was the only person that we saw that actually helped her lymphedema. She is also very empathetic and truly cares about her patience. After my mom was out of her care, Carla still checked on her and would answer any questions that we had without Charging for her time. I would highly recommend carla. There are very few lymphedema specialists that we encountered that actually know what they are doing.”

“Carla is the most caring and knowledgeable PT! She cares so much about her patients. My dad is bedridden due to TBI and needs lots of PT work. Carla comes to visit my dad everyday and provides tremendous skillful help. She is very passionate about what she can do to improve my dad’s quality of life. We really appreciate your time and expertise! Keep up the amazing work Carla!!”

“I originally came to Engram due to a problem with my knee buckling. After several months of therapy, my knee healed and I’m again able to walk without fear of falling. After my successful knee therapy, I knew that Engram was the place to go if I ever needed physical therapy again. Well, after years of heavy weightlifting, I developed a lot of pain in my elbows and I needed to return to Engram for more PT. While I’m still in therapy twice a week, there is clear progress being made. Thanks a million to Carla for all her great work. I feared long term physical limitations due to aging, but with Carla’s help at Engram, I feel 20 years younger. Five big stars for Carla and Engram!”
