Manual Therapy is used to repair neuromusculoskeletal problems that cause pain in the human body.
Physiotherapy is a continuously evolving science requiring consistent follow-ups and consulting of research evidence in order for the physiotherapist to be able to provide the best possible therapeutic outcomes. Manual Therapy is a special musculoskeletal physiotherapy treatment based on research evidence and includes:
- Clinical evaluation of the patient through comprehensive history taking and the application of special musculoskeletal tests that aim to determine the underlying pathology of the dysfunction.
- Application of special tissue and joints mobilization techniques manually by an experienced physiotherapist, according to the indications of the clinical evaluation.
- Application of orthopedic manipulations in joints that trigger pain and show reduced mobility.
