Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a specialized hands-on treatment performed by physiotherapists and healthcare professionals to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and enhance physical function. Using precise techniques, therapists apply controlled pressure to muscles, joints, and soft tissues to restore movement, relieve tension, and promote healing.

Conditions Treated with Manual Therapy

✔ Back & neck pain (including sciatica)
✔ Joint stiffness & arthritis
✔ Sports injuries & muscle strains
✔ Post-surgical rehabilitation
✔ Headaches & TMJ disorders
✔ Postural imbalances & repetitive strain injuries

Common Manual Therapy Techniques

1. Joint Mobilization

  • Gentle, rhythmic movements to improve joint flexibility

  • Helps with stiffness, arthritis, and restricted motion

2. Soft Tissue Massage

  • Releases muscle tension, breaks down scar tissue

  • Reduces knots, spasms, and trigger points

3. Spinal & Joint Manipulation

  • Quick, controlled adjustments to realign joints

  • Effective for acute pain and nerve irritation

4. Stretching & Myofascial Release

  • Targets tight muscles and connective tissue

  • Improves flexibility and blood circulation
