Manual therapy is soft tissue mobilisation, also known as deep tissue massage. Often used in combination with dry needling acupuncture, it utilises hands-on techniques aimed at overly tight muscles to reduce pain and restore normal function.
This makes up a vital component of our treatment in-clinic and is important for giving you some immediate relief from attending the session. This is always combined with other treatment, however, and it is vital to build on the effects gained from manual therapy with adequate self-management and rehabilitation, which your physiotherapist will discuss with you.
