Manual therapy
Manual therapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. It is often used for orthopaedic conditions such as broken bones, tendonitis, sprains, bursitis, muscle weakness, joint pain, sciatica, whiplash and movement disorders. Manual therapy can help alleviate the discomfort associated with these conditions while correcting underlying imbalances or impairments to support lasting healing.

Advantages of manual therapy treatment
Manual therapy has proven to be effective not only in treating existing injuries, but also in minimizing the risk of future injuries. Used correctly, it can improve the functionality of the musculoskeletal system and relieve pain associated with orthopaedic conditions. Studies show that manual physiotherapy is often the first choice for movement disorders. For some patients, manual orthopedic therapy can provide immediate symptom relief, while most experience gradual improvement over several sessions. Here are some of the main benefits of manual orthopaedic treatments:
- Reduction of stress on affected joints by restoring appropriate posture and movement mechanics
- Restoration of mobility through the reduction of inflammation-related scar tissue
- Improvement in arthrokinematics, i.e. the movement between two joint surfaces
- Acceleration of healing processes due to increased blood circulation in the affected area
- Improve strength by learning correct motor control, which promotes coordination and balance
- Reduction of tension in specific nerve structures
- Relief of myofascial trigger points associated with chronic or permanent overuse syndromes.
