A member asked:
Does back/neck mobilization or manual physical therapy hurt? how effective is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but worth it: Physical therapy involves moving, which can sometimes cause acute pain, but long term studies show significant benefit to therapy for many chronic and acute conditions.
