Spinal Manual Therapy
Physiotherapists use manual therapy, a hands-on approach, to diagnose, treat, and manage injuries and disorders involving the musculoskeletal system. Physiotherapists employ several manual treatment methods, such as Joint Mobilization for gentle, passive movements applied; Soft Tissue Mobilization techniques for myofascial release, Trigger Point Therapy used to address muscle tension, Manual Traction Gentle for pulling or stretching of the spine or limbs, and Manipulation for high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts applied to specific joints.
