Manual therapy is a treatment method used by athletic trainers, physiotherapists and massage therapists. Generally, it is used to treat musculoskeletal pain and often includes joint manipulation, manipulation of muscles, kneading and joint mobilisation. Within the physiotherapy profession, manual therapy is a clinical approach to implementing hands-on techniques to increase the range of motion, treat joint structures, reduce pain, reduce inflammation and enhance healing. There are many different styles and methods of manual therapy used by physiotherapists.
Before our therapists initiate manual therapy treatment, a full assessment of the blood and supply is done in addition to a muscle and bone assessment. Our therapists then implement the best type of manual therapy for the patient. All around, manual therapy increases blood flow, reduces pain, increases the range of motion and just plain feels good.
