Manual therapy is a specialized branch of Physiotherapy wherein assessment and treatment of ailment is carried out manually by the Physiotherapist.

It is an application of accurately determined and specifically directed manual force to the body in order to improve mobility in an area that is restricted as in joint, connective tissue or skeletal muscle.

Manual Therapy approaches healing from both; a structural perspective and functional methodology. This means Manual Therapy addresses pain, dysfunction, disease, and disabilities by seeking the cause of these challenges. The potential for a function can emerge only after determining the causes and their treatment.

Manual Therapy introduces a new concept to the body giving the opportunity to heal itself. It adds, “Life to years” as opposed to. “Years to life”. In manual therapy, we stick to the notion that positive environment plus positive attitude and equally positive result.

Manual Therapy consists of manipulations and mobilizations via various accessory glides of different skeletal joints through the hands of a skilled Physiotherapist in the form of single controlled High velocity thrusts beyond the physiological range but within anatomical range or Small amplitude, accessory glides within the physiological range.

The main purpose of this intervention is to reduce skeletal soft tissue pain, increase the range of motion of Hypomobile joint, to realign the altered biomechanical or faulty posture with a safe and logical approach.
