Yes, manual therapy is a safe and effective treatment when performed by trained physiotherapists like those at Fit and Fine Rehab. Our team takes a patient-centered approach, tailoring the therapy to your specific needs and condition. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or addressing postural imbalances, manual therapy can be a key component of your treatment plan.

Does This Treatment Method Hurt?

Manual therapy should not cause pain. While you may experience some mild discomfort during certain techniques—especially if you have tight muscles or stiff joints—our therapists ensure that your comfort is a priority. The goal is to release tension, reduce stiffness, and promote healing, and any discomfort should subside as your body responds to the treatment.

Techniques Of Manual Therapy

Manual physiotherapy at Fit and Fine Rehab incorporates a variety of techniques to address different conditions:

• Joint Mobilization: Aimed at improving joint function and range of motion, this technique involves gentle, controlled movements of the joints to relieve stiffness and improve mobility.

• Manual Traction: This technique is used to gently stretch and release pressure from compressed areas, particularly in the spine and neck, offering relief for conditions like herniated discs and sciatica.

• Soft Tissue Massage: By applying direct pressure to muscles, fascia, and tendons, soft tissue massage reduces tension, increases blood flow, and promotes relaxation, providing relief from chronic pain and injury.

• Spinal Manipulation: This hands-on technique is used to realign the spine, relieve pressure, and improve function. It is particularly beneficial for patients with back or neck pain, allowing for better spinal movement and reduced discomfort.
