How is manual therapy performed?
The physiotherapist uses their hands to work on soft tissues or move a joint in a controlled way. Technique and intensity are chosen after assessing your condition. Not every method is suitable for every person.
How can it help?
In some conditions, it may reduce stiffness and improve movement. Some effects are short-lived, so manual therapy is usually part of a plan including exercise, education and follow-up, rather than the only treatment.
What should you tell your therapist?
Share your medical and surgical history and changes in symptoms. Techniques require a safety assessment and your consent. Report pain or discomfort during the session so the technique or intensity can be adjusted to your tolerance.
