Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a term that describes ‘hands on’ treatment. It can include treatment of joints, connective tissue, neural tissue and muscles.
Techniques used by physiotherapists include
- Myofascial release
- Mobilisation of joints
- Joint manipulation
- Neural tissue mobilisation
- Traction
- Muscle energy techniques
- Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
Manual therapy can immediately decrease pain, improve range of movement, decrease muscular tension and facilitate movement.
