Manual Therapy for Richardson residents
Axis Physical Therapy sees Richardson residents at our two Plano offices. We treat patients from Canyon Creek, Cottonwood Creek, the Telecom Corridor, the Reservation, the UT Dallas neighborhoods, and Heights Park — many of whom appreciate that we book early-morning and late-afternoon slots that fit a working schedule.
Richardson patients choose Axis PT for the one-on-one care model with no aide hand-offs. Our therapists treat the full range of orthopedic, sports, and chronic-pain conditions, and we coordinate directly with the surgeons at Axis Orthopedic & Spine for post-surgical patients.

Manual Therapy in Richardson — FAQs
Does Axis Physical Therapy have a Richardson office?
Not currently. Both Axis PT offices are in Plano. Richardson residents are seen at whichever Plano office offers the right service and the soonest opening.
Do you treat patients from the Telecom Corridor?
Yes — we see many patients who work in the Telecom Corridor for everything from herniated discs and rotator cuff tears to overuse injuries from desk-based work. Early-morning and late-afternoon slots are available for working professionals.
Are evening appointments available?
We reserve late-afternoon slots for working professionals — exact availability varies by day and therapist. Our front desk can find the best window when you call to schedule.
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.
