Manual therapy is an advanced physical therapy approach that involves the use of the therapist’s hands to assess, diagnose, and treat musculoskeletal conditions. It includes techniques such as joint mobilization, manipulation, and soft tissue release, which aim to decrease pain, reduce stiffness, restore normal movement, and enhance circulation. Manual therapy is especially effective in treating conditions like back and neck pain, joint stiffness, muscle tension, sports injuries, and disc problems. It is often integrated into a comprehensive rehabilitation program to restore mobility, improve strength, and enhance the patient’s overall quality of life.
