Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a special form of physical therapy applied manually. Manual Therapy includes joints moving at certain points and at different speeds, muscle tension, passive movements of the affected body part. The specific soft tissue and mobilization techniques selected are also used to improve the mobility and function of tissues and muscles.

Manual therapy is useful for the treatment of joints without sufficient mobility and range of motion. It removes the causes causing this in cases such as joint motion limitation, joint pain and dysfunction. The reasons for this include limitations in joint capsule and ligaments, adhesions, intra-articular structural deterioration, and bone blockages due to degenerations. Manual therapy aims to restore movement in the joints and reduce muscle tension to return patients to more natural movement without pain. With manual therapy, it is possible to strengthen the mobility of the joints and reduce muscle tension to allow the patient to move more naturally without pain. With manual therapy; In the treatment of joint problems such as sacroiliac joint dysfunction, chronic low back pain, acute back pain caused by soft tissue injuries, back muscle tension and ligament withdrawals, very effective results can be obtained from the first session. As pain and tension decrease, mobility greatly increases. A versatile treatment program that includes simultaneous range of motion exercises, strengthening and functional techniques is important to ensure that the recovery is permanent.
