Why Choose Bushnell for Manual Therapy

Choosing the right physical therapy provider matters. At Bushnell, manual therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment—it’s part of a customized plan designed specifically for you.

What sets Bushnell apart:

  • Experienced, highly trained therapists with advanced manual therapy skills
  • Personalized, one-on-one care focused on your needs and goals
  • Evidence-based techniques backed by current research
  • Treatment that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms
  • A supportive, professional environment where patients are truly heard

We combine clinical expertise with genuine care to help you get lasting results.

What Manual Therapy Involves

 

Manual therapy refers to hands-on techniques used by licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore normal movement.

  • Joint mobilizations to improve joint motion and reduce stiffness
  • Soft tissue mobilization to decrease muscle tightness and restrictions
  • Therapeutic stretching to improve flexibility and movement quality
  • ASTYM® therapy to stimulate healing of soft tissue injuries
  • Cupping therapy to improve circulation and reduce soft tissue tension
  • Myofascial techniques to address movement restrictions

These treatments help calm pain, improve how joints and muscles move, and prepare your body for strengthening and functional activity.

Conditions Treated with Manual Therapy

 

Manual therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Back and neck pain
  • Joint stiffness (shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, etc.)
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation
  • Muscle strains and ligament injuries
  • Tendonitis and overuse injuries
  • Sports-related injuries
  • Chronic pain or mobility limitations

Your therapist will determine which techniques are most appropriate based on your condition and response to treatment.

What to Expect at Bushnell

 

Your experience starts with a thorough evaluation, where your therapist assesses movement, strength, mobility, and pain.
From there, you can expect:

1. A customized treatment plan tailored to your goals

2. Hands-on manual therapy integrated with exercise and movement training

3. Ongoing reassessment to ensure progress

4. Education and strategies to help you stay pain-free long term

Manual therapy is most effective when combined with active treatment—so you’ll never just be “worked on.” You’ll be an active participant in your recovery.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!

“Been working with Jared and Katherine and it’s been a great experience. 6 weeks out of ACL surgery and my knee is slowly getting back to normal. The progress has been consistent and the team is pretty awesome! Intermountain also had good things to say about the bushnell team. Glad I chose this place :)”
Remma

“Bushnell pt is the BOMB DOT COM! Seriously, I had great service here while being treated for my shoulder recovery from a major labrum repair surgery. The staff and therapists are all very friendly and do their jobs extremely well. Justin especially is awesome to work with and makes it interesting by actually talking to you and getting to know you as a human being, as do all the aides…Hopefully I never need physical therapy again, but if I do I’ll definitely choose Bushnell as long as I live in the Provo/Orem area (and maybe even a bit farther out – they’re that good I’d be willing to drive a reasonable distance). Two thumbs way up!”
McKay

“Bushnell Therapy is awesome. I moved to Provo after having knee surgery overseas. I was scared of finding a new physical therapist but Bushnell was perfect. The staff is so friendly and kind. They helped me improve so much in the strength and stability of my knee. If you are in need of physical therapy, I highly recommend Bushnell, great people and great therapy. They will take good care of you and all your needs.“
