What is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a specialized hands-on approach used by physiotherapists to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions. It encompasses a range of techniques and skilled movements aimed at alleviating pain, improving mobility, and restoring optimal function.
Through the precise application of manual pressure, joint mobilization, stretching, and soft tissue manipulation, physiotherapists target specific areas of the body to address restrictions, tightness, and imbalances. Manual therapy techniques can include joint mobilizations, soft tissue mobilizations, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and more.
How Can Manual Therapy Help Me?
The goal of manual therapy is to restore proper movement and alignment, enhance blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. By manually manipulating tissues, joints, and muscles, physiotherapists can help alleviate pain, improve flexibility, restore range of motion, and optimize overall physical function.
Manual therapy is often integrated into comprehensive treatment plans alongside other physiotherapy modalities such as exercise prescription, therapeutic ultrasound, and electrical stimulation. The hands-on nature of manual therapy allows physiotherapists to assess and address individual needs, tailoring treatments to each patient's unique condition.
Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or seeking preventive care, manual therapy can play a vital role in your rehabilitation journey. It offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain management and functional improvement, promoting long-term well-being and a better quality of life.

Kaitlin is absolutely incredible. I've been injured a bunch in my life, but it is rare I find a physio that has my recovery at the forefront of treatment.
