Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment by clinicians to treat muscle aches, joint pain, and limited range of motion.
It encompasses a variety of techniques including soft tissue mobilization of muscles, specific joint mobilization, and joint manipulation.
Mobilization is a slower, more controlled process of articular and soft-tissue stretching intended to improve joint mobility.
Massage is typically the repetitive rubbing, stripping or kneading of muscle and fascia tissues to facilitate healing.

Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction.
This practice dates back over 2,000 years but has received recent attention due to its use by world-class athletes for injury relief.
In a peer-reviewed study1, researchers concluded that cupping could be effective in treating the pain and disability associated with chronic neck pain and chronic low-back pain in the short term.
It's also believed that the effect of suction on the skin helps increase blood flow and promotes healing.

Kinesio Tape is a latex-free, elastic porous cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive used for treating athletic injuries and a variety of other physical disorders.
Kinesio Tape stretches up to 140% of its original length, which allows much greater range of motion, compared to traditional white athletic tape.
It can also be left on for longer periods of time (up to 4 days) before reapplication is needed.
Kinesio Tape is about as thick as human epidermis (skin) and is designed to mimic its elastic properties to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, relax muscles, enhance performance, and help with rehabilitation as well as supporting muscles during a sporting event.
