Manipulation & Manual Therapy

What It Is

Manual therapy (MT), often known as mobilisation or manipulative treatment, is a type of physiotherapy in which a physiotherapist assesses and treats joints and soft tissues by employing controlled, deliberate motions.

The technique is designed to address musculoskeletal disorders from a neuro-orthopaedic standpoint, addressing underlying movement or tissue restrictions rather than just treating symptoms.

Common Symptoms

• Acute or persistent shoulder discomfort
• Reduced range of motion
• Soft-tissue injuries
• Fascial problems
• Problems requiring nerve mobilization
• Tight or uncomfortable muscles
