Joint Manual Therapy

Joint Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a type of hands-on treatment that involves the use of various techniques to manipulate and mobilize the body’s soft tissues and joints. The goal of manual therapy is to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, increase range of motion, and improve overall function. Manual therapy techniques can include massage, joint mobilisation, manipulation, stretching, and muscle energy techniques. These techniques are often used in combination to address specific issues and promote healing. Manual therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including back and neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and chronic pain.

As well as reducing pain, improving recovery and increasing the range of motion, many clients also find sports massage relaxing and report better quality sleep after treatment.

While manual therapy can be effective for many people, it may not be appropriate for everyone. Before beginning manual therapy, a thorough assessment is conducted to determine the best course of treatment for the individual patient. Treatment plans may involve multiple sessions and will include exercises and other interventions to support the manual therapy techniques.
