Manual therapy

Physiotherapists often use manual therapy techniques as a treatment to improve the condition and mobility of the tissues in a painful or injured area.

This is in order that you can move and reactivate more easily to help your tissue to heal. Manual Therapy works best when used in combination with exercise and activity. Your physiotherapist will explain to you what you need to do to help the healing of your tissues between therapy sessions.

Manual therapy includes treatments such as massage, soft tissue mobilisation, connective tissue techniques, myo-fascial release and strain and counterstrain techniques.
