A manual therapy is a type of physiotherapy that involves the treatment of dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system using therapist's hands without the use of mechanical devices or drugs. The main goal of manual therapy is to restore the proper functioning of joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves, as well as to relieve pain and improve the range of motion. A manual therapist uses various techniques, such as joint mobilization and manipulation, soft tissue massages, muscle stretching and fascial techniques. A manual therapy can be used for spine problems, joint pain, sports injuries or muscle tension resulting from overload.
It is worth pointing that manual therapy is always tailored to individual needs of the patient and its effectiveness depends on a precise diagnosis and appropriate selection of therapeutic techniques.
