Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a clinical treatment approach that uses specific hands-on techniques, including manipulation and mobilization, to diagnose and treat soft tissue and joint problems.
The use of manual therapy or hands-on treatments has been clinically proven to provide excellent benefits for a range of common musculoskeletal problems. When combined with the right advice and exercises, manual therapy can significantly improve the recovery time for many conditions, such as those affecting the lower back, neck and shoulder.
The clinically proven effects of manual therapy include;
- reduces pain
- increases range of motion
- reducing or eliminating soft tissue inflammation
- induces relaxation
- improves soft tissue repair and stability
- facilitates movement
- improve function
We use many Manual Therapy Techniques including The Mulligan Concept which enables recovery from joint disorders. It involves the therapist delivering a pain-free series of techniques, often undertaken in weight-bearing postures such as sitting and standing, to re-align joint position, restore movement and encourage pain relief.
Other Manual Therapy Techniques we use;
- Passive Mobilisations and Manipulation of Spinal and Peripheral Joints
- Muscle Energy Techniques
- Passive Stretching of Contractile Tissue
- Manual Muscle Relaxation Techniques
- Mobilisations of the Nervous System
- Osteopath Manipulations
Research shows that early treatment of your injury with gentle movement in the direction of injury helps with the organisation and alignment of fibres in the repair process, thereby reducing the production of unwanted adhesions and encouraging an early return to normal function.
