We are using CDC droplet precautions with all patients and encourage the use of masks for safety. We only treat 1-on-1. We still offer Telemedicine PT on your computer as an alternative to physical contact visits. We provide exclusive one-on-one treatment from a Doctor of Physical Therapy for 45-60 minutes. This means you get all the attention you need to help you overcome your injury. We strive to keep you with the same physical therapist throughout your treatment because they know you and your goals.
Services
The Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT) approach has shown in many research studies that it can help to reduce pain and/or improve disability in individuals with low back pain with/without leg symptoms (1,2) neck pain with/without arm symptoms (3,4,5), hip pain (6,7), knee pain (8,9), ankle pain (10), shoulder pain (11,12), jaw pain (13,14), headaches (15), etc.
Recurrence of injury is common and it is the goal of Manual Medicine Physical Therapy to help individuals understand what causes their pain, as well as, how to fix it so that they can better manage their symptoms and reduce the rate of re-injury. Many people fear movement when they are in pain.

Our job is to ensure that nothing dangerous is present and that movement will not cause any further damage, teaching the patient that it is okay to move again.Often times as movement and confidence are restored, pain is improved.
We analyze your strength and conditioning program to see if there are any dysfunctional areas. We analyze your muscle size to see if there any specific areas that are not well developed. Depending on your goals, muscle size can tell us a lot about strength and health. Even healthy lifestyles need help to stay that way.
Dr. Todoroff earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Duke University in 2009. During his tenure at Duke University he participated in an internship working with the Duke University Blue Devil athletic teams. He also has a B.S. in Exercise Physiology from Ohio University where he was a member of the Division-I Ohio Bobcat football team.

I've been extremely impressed with the level of professionalism from Max. I'm an athlete with a science background, and he spoke to me while acknowledging those two facts by using terms I'm familiar with and never assumed I knew less than I did. I've never interacted with a doctor who has treated me with that much respect. He also laid out exactly what I should expect from my insurance including how subsequent visits will affect the costs; my insurance company didn't even provide this information to me! I look forward to continuing my physical therapy sessions with him.

Max Todoroff guided me before and after a left hip replacement. He is highly skilled and very personable. A friendly place to visit and get well. I thank Max for helping me walk again!

Dr. Max is a caring professional who is also a great communicator. His communication and physical therapy skills and abilities enables Dr. Max to effectively treat his patients. Because he significantly reduced the pain in my lower back and right hip, I highly recommend Max Todoroff.

I was very pleased with the treatment and service I received at Manual Medicine Physical Therapy and specifically Max Todoroff! Max is incredibly skilled, educated and has a pleasant demeanor. He was able to diagnose my pain and develop exercises/stretches that have helped reduce my discomfort. Administratively, Manual Medicine submitted my insurance claims without incident and used the latest technology to keep me scheduled on a regular basis. I highly recommend using them to get you feeling better!

I had a great experience here with Max. He seems to really care about making his patients better and will go the extra mile to do so. Three months after I finished my physical therapy, I called with a few concerns and he immediately gave me a new exercise plan and suggested some next steps. Highly recommend!

I worked with Michael Commesso on several issues last year. I'm happy with the results and impressed the Manual Medicine approach. I've previously worked with one of the largest PT groups in Raleigh, and they only provide 20 minutes with the therapist per visit. The rest of the time is with very junior staff or with a hot pack. Michael spent the whole hour with me every time. I feel this contributed toward better final results and reaching them more quickly with only one session a week.
We spent the sessions with both soft tissue work and strengthening exercises. It was valuable to have an expert

Max is a great physical therapist. He is extremely knowledgeable and makes it a point to continue to improve in his field. He is flexible about scheduling so I can always get in when I really need it. He really focuses on your specific needs during your sessions and makes great hands-on corrections and suggestions for you to do on your own. I highly recommend Manual Medicine.

So impressed. Max did a fantastic job of explaining the likely causes of my foot numbness, and recommending strength training to improve the symptoms.
He explained things in a detailed, non-rushed way. He went out of his way to answer my questions and explain other concerns not directly related to my visit. I am VERY impressed with Max and would recommend anyone to his practice.

I found this service through Google and the positive reviews convinced me of giving it a chance. I'm so glad I did, so I hope this review helps others who are in need of a great therapist, reach Max. I have bad knees as a result of years of ballet training and have seen a number of therapists everywhere. That was until I met Max. With very simple exercises and no machines at all, he got rid of the pain. Most important of all, he taught me how to recognize my limits and how to build up stronger legs. Excellent therapist and excellent service!
