Manual therapy, hands on treatment

Manual therapy

Manual therapy is hands on treatment, where the physiotherapist uses their hands to move joints and work on muscles. It can ease stiffness, reduce pain, and help a joint move more freely.

This matters because a stiff or sore joint can hold back the whole recovery. Freeing it can make exercise and daily movement much easier.

Our physiotherapist uses gentle, controlled techniques suited to the person’s condition. Manual therapy is usually paired with exercise, so the improvement in movement is kept up through the person’s own effort. That way the relief lasts beyond the visit.
