Manual therapy is a type of physiotherapy that involves treating musculoskeletal dysfunctions with the 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 relieve pain and improve range of motion.
A manual therapist uses various techniques, such as joint mobilizations and manipulations, soft tissue massages, muscle stretching and fascial techniques. Manual therapy can be used for back problems, joint pain, sports injuries, or muscle strains resulting from overloading.
