Benefits of Manual Therapy

• Rapid Pain Relief: Many patients get immediate pain relief following a session of manual therapy with their chartered physiotherapist. If you have discomfort as a result of stress on muscles or a lighter injury, it could give you relief from pain.

• Mobilisation & Manipulation: Can loosen stiffness in a joint. This can increase the range of movement in a joint, allowing function to improve and pain to reduce.

• Muscle Function: When joints are stiff and sore the function of muscles around the joint can be affected and muscles do not work as efficiently. Manual therapy which increases movement at a joint and reduces pain can indirectly allow the function of the muscles to improve.
