MANUAL THERAPY
MANUAL THERAPY
Manual therapy is a method involving diagnostic and therapeutic techniques performed by the therapist. Its primary goal is to restore functionality and alleviate musculoskeletal pain. It is highly effective in treating reversible conditions, restricted joint ranges of motion, and muscles with increased tone.
We assess and treat each patient thoroughly to ensure that therapy is personalised and offers long-term solutions.
When can manual therapy be used?
Lower back pain (lumbar pain, joint problems)
Issues involving intervertebral discs
Decreased range of motion in various joints
Numbness or radiating pain in limbs
Complaints of the neck or shoulder region
Certain types of dizziness and headaches
Persistent joint pain (hip, knee, shoulder)
Tendon issues (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, Achilles tendonitis)
Manual therapy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
When should you consider visiting a physiotherapist specialising in TMJ issues?
Restricted movement
Pain in the jaw during speech, chewing, or yawning
Persistent pain in the ear, face, or teeth
Clicking or popping sounds during jaw movement
Ear ringing or buzzing
Certain types of headaches
Persisting pain after dental procedures
These issues often originate from temporomandibular joint dysfunction, which can be addressed using manual techniques and targeted exercises. In addition to treating the TMJ, we also focus on restoring balance in the neck and shoulder muscles. Lifestyle advice is provided to ensure that we deliver the highest level of comprehensive care possible and achieve long-lasting results.
