The term “Manual Therapy” is broad, and definitely does not belong solely to the realm of physiotherapy. It can encompass a myriad of techniques across the spectrum of rehab professionals.
Within physiotherapy, “Manual Therapy” is often at the core of what drives evaluation and treatment in most orthopaedic cases. Most simply, it refers to “hands-on” techniques aimed at improving pain and function. In its more sophisticated form, it refers to advanced techniques that aim to restore proper biomechanical movement to a joint.
