Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy covers a variety of interventions in which the physiotherapists utilize their skilled hands to assess and treat musculoskeletal conditions. It aims to regain a full and pain-free range of motion of problematic structures including joints, soft tissues and neural structures.  

Whether it is acute injuries or chronic pain conditions, muscle spasm, joint stiffness and movement restrictions are commonly developed. Under the concepts of Manual Therapy, a structured assessment is a key component for identifying the sources of movement limitations, pain and muscle spasm. After determining the structures and directions to be mobilized, the physiotherapists use specific manual approach to correct the movement dysfunctions. Then, with continuous evaluation and re-assessment, the physiotherapists will make necessary adjustments of the manual techniques to make the best outcomes. At PhysioOne, our physiotherapists pursued post-graduate training specialized in Manual Therapy, providing skillful and effective techniques that address individual’s condition.

Joint stiffness, soft tissues tightness and muscle weakness usually interplay to contribute to musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Manual Therapy can help in providing immediate reduction in pain and stiffness, which lays the foundation of a pain-free exercise therapy for longer term improvements. Our physiotherapists use Manual Therapy in conjunction with modalities and exercise training to promote a faster recovery of functions.
