Manual therapy

Manual therapy

What does it involve?

Manual therapy is an essential approach in the practice of physiotherapy, giving professionals valuable tools to assess and treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Using targeted manual techniques, physiotherapists can help restore mobility, reduce pain and improve their patients' function.

How it works

The techniques

Manual therapy is based on an in-depth understanding of the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of the human body. Physiotherapists trained in this approach use their hands to assess soft tissues, joints and muscle structures. They then use specific techniques to release tension, restore joint mobility and promote healing.

Manual therapy techniques can vary according to the individual needs of the patient. Commonly used approaches include joint mobilisation, spinal manipulation, myofascial release, stretching, massage techniques and neuromuscular stimulation. These techniques are applied with precision and care, taking into account the patient's specific condition, tolerance and treatment goals.
