Manual therapy (Manipulation, Mobilisation)

Manual therapy alleviates a broad variety of musculoskeletal conditions. This hands-on treatment is one of the most popular offered at the Institute of Sport Physiotherapy.

Joints and muscles are moved in different directions and speeds to regain movement. This treatment may involve muscle stretching, passive movements of the affected parts of the body, or having the patient move the affected area against the therapist’s resistance to improve muscle activation.
