Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a clinical approach based on skilled “hands on” therapy to decrease pain and improve the mobility of joints, soft tissues and nerves. There are many different manual therapy techniques. Latitude physiotherapists have developed high skills in manual therapy.

Manual therapy is used to assess, diagnose and treat a variety of symptoms and conditions. The technique used depends on the type of injury and what is going to be the most effective treatment for it. Manual therapy techniques are often used alongside other treatment modalities such as electrotherapy or an exercise program.

Manual therapy techniques are :

  • Joint Mobilization and Manipulation
  • Soft tissue mobilization-Ischemic release, Trigger point release, Myofascial release, Deep friction
  • Neural mobilization
