Manual Therapy at our Plano clinics
Axis Physical Therapy operates two clinics in Plano — one at 4090 Mapleshade Lane (East Plano) and one at 5655 W Spring Creek Pkwy (West Plano). We see Plano residents from across the city, plus Murphy, Sachse, Wylie, and Parker patients who choose to come in for one-on-one DPT-led care.
Every Axis PT visit is one-on-one with a doctor of physical therapy — no hand-off to aides for the bulk of your session. We work directly with the orthopedic and spine surgeons at Axis Orthopedic & Spine for surgical patients, and we accept direct-access patients with or without a physician referral. Most new patients are seen within the week.

Manual Therapy in Plano — FAQs
Where are your two Plano offices?
East Plano: 4090 Mapleshade Lane, Suite 102A, Plano, TX 75093. West Plano: 5655 W Spring Creek Pkwy, Suite 115, Plano, TX 75024. Same hours, same therapists, same care model at both — book whichever is more convenient.
Which Plano office should I go to?
Whichever fits your schedule. Most patients pick based on which side of Plano they live or work on, but our front desk can help match you to the office with the soonest opening if scheduling speed matters more than location.
Do you take walk-ins in Plano?
We're appointment-based but reserve same-day slots for urgent issues. Call (469) 649-7004 — we can usually fit acute injuries in the same week.
Do I need a physician referral to be seen at your Plano clinic?
Texas allows direct access to PT, so no — you can be seen for an evaluation without a physician referral. Some insurance plans require one for billing; we verify before your first visit.
Is manual therapy the same as massage?
No. Massage is generally relaxation-focused and broad. Physical therapy manual techniques are specific, dosed, and selected based on the diagnosis — joint mobilization, IASTM, and myofascial work are not interchangeable with massage.
Will manual therapy hurt?
Most manual therapy is well-tolerated and often immediately relieving. Some techniques (like trigger point release or IASTM) involve discomfort during the technique that resolves quickly.
How is this different from chiropractic adjustments?
Chiropractors typically perform high-velocity manipulations; PTs use a wider range of techniques including graded mobilizations, soft tissue work, and IASTM. Different tools, different evidence base, sometimes complementary.
Can manual therapy alone fix my problem?
Rarely. Manual therapy unlocks mobility and reduces pain, but the changes only stick when paired with the right exercise and movement retraining. That's why every session combines both.
