Manual Therapy Services

Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of manual and manipulative therapy in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. They are rendered effective by a combination of mechanical, neurophysiological and biomechanical mechanisms.

 

Manual Therapy refers to specific treatment used to mobilize joints and soft tissues of the spine and extremities. Manual therapy techniques include, massage, traction, muscle energy, neuro mobilization and manipulation which Physiotherapists use to treat and assess various neuromusculoskeletal conditions.

 

Manipulation Therapy is the controlled, passive movement of any joint either within or just beyond its active range of motion. This encompasses a great variety of manipulative techniques that physiotherapists have been trained to perform.

 

The ultimate goal of Manual and Manipulative therapy is maintaining and restoring normal pain free range of motion.

 

A Physiotherapist is highly skilled at assessing musculoskeletal disorders and tailoring the type of Manual Therapy technique required to attain your goals. A comprehensive manual therapy treatment will usually include education and exercise prescription.
