Hands on Treatment
Hands on Treatment, also known as Manual Therapy, is a hands-on approach used by physiotherapists to diagnose, treat, and manage musculoskeletal pain and movement dysfunction. It involves skilled, targeted techniques designed to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, and promote overall healing.
What Does Hands on Treatment Involve?
At Physio-Wise, our experience physiotherapists use manual therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each client's unique needs.
This approach includes:
- Joint Mobilisation & Manipulation - Gentle, controlled movements applied to joints to improve mobility and reduce stiffness.
- Soft Tissue Mobilisation (Massage Therapy) - Techniques focused on muscles, tendons, and ligaments to relive tension, improve circulation, and aid recovery.
- Myofacial Release - A technique that targets the fascia (connective tissue) to reduce tightness and improve movement.
- Trigger Point Therapy - Focused pressure applied to tight muscle knots (trigger points) to relieve pain and restore function.
- Passive Stretching - Assisted stretched that help increase flexibility and range of motion.
How Can Hands on Treatment Help?
Manual therapy is highly effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including:
- Back and Neck Pain - Reduces stiffness and improves spinal mobility.
- Sports Injuries - Accelerates recovery by improving circulation and tissue healing.
- Chronic Pain Conditions - Helps manage pain from conditions such as arthiritis and fibromyalgia.
