North Star Manual Therapy

Did you know that manual therapy offers a wide range of benefits? Primarily focused on pain relief, improved mobility, and accelerated healing, manual therapy can also help reduce muscle tension, improve tissue repair, and increase range of motion.

Manual therapy can effectively manage pain by addressing its root cause, whether it's muscle tension, joint stiffness, or soft tissue inflammation.

Manual therapy can also improve mobility and function.
Techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization can increase joint and muscle mobility, improving overall function and range of motion.

Manual therapy can help decrease inflammation by stimulating blood flow to the affected area, delivering nutrients, and promoting tissue repair.

The gentle, hands-on approach of manual therapy can induce relaxation, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate stress. It can improve tissue repair by enhancing circulation and breaking down adhesions, leading to better tissue stability.

By stimulating blood flow and reducing inflammation, manual therapy can accelerate the healing process, especially in injuries. This technique is GREAT for your sports loving kids who push their bodies beyond.

Manual therapy can address postural imbalances, improving alignment and reducing strain on muscles and joints. It can also enhance motor control by increasing muscle activation and reducing pain signals.

How are we different from other Physical Therapist practices? Brent and Jeff, both give you the best of their combined knowledge and complete hands on treatment. Our clients don't come into a room that resembles a gym, they come into a welcoming environment that's perfectly suited to their needs. We provide a full hour of wholistic, hands on approach for your whole body. We know that where you are experiencing pain is not necessarily where the pain is coming from. Once we have evaluated how your entire body moves and functions, we can identify the cause of your symptoms, which is what we focus on.

We Take Pride in seeing the quick turnaround and healing in all of our clients. We thank you all for the wonderful reviews we receive.

"AMAZING! Brent has healing hands. He really takes his time to explain what he is doing and why he is doing it. He really knows his stuff! W******* is feeling much better and is on the right track now. THANK YOU!!" S.

"My daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis. The orthopedic doctor wanted to do surgery saying treatments have not changed in 40 years. We were not comfortable with that solution. We tried a few other options. My daughter had a few injuries during this time. She is always involved in a sport. Then someone referred us to North Star. My daughter stands taller and straighter. She knows how to help prevent the chronic injuries. We are thankful for the entire staff at North Star!!!!" J.

"Jeff did wonders for our 12-year-old son's foot/ankle/lower leg. He had recently broken/sprained it plus had a bruised heel that had been bothering him for over 2 years. We had already been to a foot specialist and spent a few hundred on foot inserts, etc. Nothing worked till we took him to North Star! They fix the issue vs just treating the symptom. " J.

"When I was in high school, I had horrible shin splints. I went to the doc many times and wasn't told anything that would get rid of them. Sure, ibuprofen would help but I needed something more! Brent, by just looking at the way walked, was able to work on my hips to completely get rid of the shin splints. I don't know how he does it but what I do know is that it works!!!" M.

"Brent AND Jeff are the best in Texas...You can't go wrong with North Star Manuel Therapy...Thanks guys" K.
