What is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physiotherapists to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve overall function. It involves gentle mobilisation, stretching, and specific techniques applied to joints and muscles.
This form of treatment is especially effective for people with stiffness, restricted mobility, or musculoskeletal pain. By targeting the source of the problem, manual therapy helps restore balance in the body and allows you to move more freely.
Mulligans Technique
The Mulligans approach uses gentle, pain-free movements combined with therapist-guided mobilisation. It helps restore joint alignment, reduce discomfort, and improve range of motion. This technique is widely used for neck, back, shoulder, and knee conditions.
Muscle Energy
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is an active form of manual therapy where the patient gently contracts muscles against the therapist’s resistance. This encourages the body to realign, release tension, and restore function naturally. It’s effective for improving joint mobility and relieving tightness.
