Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy is a hands-on approach to healing that focuses on restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving overall physical function. Unlike treatments that rely only on machines or medication, manual therapy uses the skilled touch of a trained therapist to assess, diagnose, and treat musculoskeletal conditions.

It’s a gentle yet effective method often used for people dealing with back pain, neck stiffness, joint problems, sports injuries, or postural issues.

What is Manual Therapy?

Manual therapy involves a variety of specialized techniques where the therapist uses their hands to:

Mobilize stiff joints
Release tight muscles and soft tissues
Improve circulation
Restore normal movement patterns

By targeting the root cause of pain or restriction, manual therapy not only provides relief but also helps prevent recurring problems.

Techniques Used in Manual Therapy

1. Joint Mobilization

Gentle, controlled movements applied to a joint to improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and restore its normal function.

2. Soft Tissue Release

Techniques that focus on muscles, tendons, and ligaments to relieve tightness, break down adhesions, and improve blood flow.

3. Manipulation

A slightly stronger technique where quick, precise movements are applied to a joint to release restrictions and restore mobility.

4. Myofascial Release

A method of applying sustained pressure to release tension in the fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds muscles).
