Manual Therapy

 Manual Therapy is used to diagnose and treat soft tissue and joints to reduce pain, increase range of motion, assist the body in muscle or soft tissue repair, decrease myofascial restrictions to improve muscle length and facilitate movement to improve function.

All physio’s at Physio Solutions are highly skilled in a range of Manual therapies. They can choose which techniques are best suited for your condition depending on what the goal of treatment is. Some techniques are used to reduce pain while others are used to restore range of motion in a joint or tissue. Others are used to promote healthy scar tissue formation.
