Manual Therapy is a specialised form of physiotherapy treatment, where physiotherapists use their hands to put pressure on muscle tissue and manipulate joints in an attempt to decrease pain caused by muscle spasm, muscle tension, and joint dysfunction. Techniques employed in manual therapy can include joint mobilizations, manipulations, and soft tissue techniques such as sports massage. This hands-on approach allows physiotherapists to diagnose and treat soft tissues and joint structures, improving mobility, reducing pain, and increasing function.
Our aim is to give excellent care andcustomer service in St Albans
Manual therapy is a specialised form of physiotherapy where therapists use their hands to apply pressure and manipulate muscles and joints in order to reduce pain and enhance mobility.
Manual therapy can sometimes be uncomfortable, but it does not cause excessive pain. Your therapist will work with you and adjust their techniques to ensure your comfort during treatment.
While both involve hands-on techniques, manual therapy in the context of physiotherapy often involves a wider range of techniques including joint mobilisations and manipulations, and it's typically used to address specific issues diagnosed by the therapist. Massage, on the other hand, primarily focuses on relieving tension in the muscles throughout the body.
