Manual Medicine

Manual medicine covers the hands-on portion of your care — the assessment and treatment your therapist performs directly, without a machine between their hands and the problem.

In practice that means soft tissue mobilisation, myofascial release, trigger point work, muscle energy technique and joint mobilisation, selected according to what the examination finds. Because it is hands-on, your therapist can feel how tissue responds and adjust within the same session.

Manual medicine is almost always paired with movement. The hands-on work creates the range; the exercise programme teaches your body to keep it.

What to Expect

One-on-One Care, Built Around You

Your care begins with a one-on-one evaluation. Rather than focusing on the symptoms alone, we establish a cause and effect relationship through accurate palpation and assessment of the body, then build a rehabilitation program customized to your individual needs.
