What is Manual Therapy?

Manual Therapy is a hands-on technique used by physiotherapists to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. At Annapurna Physiotherapy, we employ various manual therapy techniques to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall physical function. Our skilled physiotherapists use their hands to apply controlled forces to the body’s tissues, including muscles, joints, and ligaments, to address specific issues and promote healing.

Benefits of Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy offers a range of benefits, including:

• Pain Relief: Helps reduce pain and discomfort associated with musculoskeletal conditions.
• Improved Mobility: Enhances the range of motion in stiff or restricted joints and muscles.
• Enhanced Function: Aids in restoring normal function and movement patterns.
• Reduced Muscle Tension: Helps to relax tight muscles and alleviate muscle spasms.
• Promotes Healing: Stimulates blood flow and encourages the body’s natural healing processes.

Techniques We Use

At Annapurna Physiotherapy, we utilize a variety of manual therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs:

• Joint Mobilization: Gentle movements applied to joints to improve their range of motion and reduce stiffness.
• Soft Tissue Manipulation: Techniques such as massage to address muscle tension, improve circulation, and relieve pain.
• Myofascial Release: A technique aimed at relieving tightness and restrictions in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles.
