Manual Therapy

What is Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a set of specialized techniques that use the physiotherapist hands as the main treatment tool. It is based on the assessment and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal system dysfunctions through precise movements and pressures on joints, muscles and soft tissues.

At Physio WOW, our physiotherapists have specialized training in various manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilizations, manipulations, myofascial and neurodynamic techniques.

How it works

During the session, the physiotherapist performs a detailed assessment of the affected area and applies the most appropriate techniques for each case. Treatment may include:

Joint mobilizations to restore normal joint movement and reduce pain.

Soft tissue techniques to release muscle tension, adhesions and trigger points.

Specific stretches adapted to each patient needs.

Neurodynamic techniques to improve nervous system mobility.

The treatment is completely personalized and adapts to the patient evolution session by session.

Who is it for

Manual therapy is indicated for a wide variety of pathologies and conditions, including neck and lower back pain, muscle contractures, joint stiffness, tension headaches, nerve entrapment syndromes, sports injuries and post-surgical recovery.

It is a safe and effective technique when applied by qualified professionals like the physiotherapists at Physio WOW.
