Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy

Hands-on treatment. Targeted relief. Accelerated recovery.

At Atherapy, manual therapy is an integral part of our physiotherapy approach — combining skilled, hands-on techniques with clinical insight to reduce pain, restore mobility, and support your body's natural healing process, allowing you to move better.

Whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic tension, or working through movement restrictions, our physiotherapists use manual therapy to unlock your body’s potential and lay the foundation for more effective rehabilitation.

What is Manual Therapy?

Manual therapy involves the skilled use of the hands to assess, diagnose, and treat musculoskeletal dysfunctions. It includes a variety of techniques, such as:
‍

• Joint Mobilisation & Manipulation
  Gentle or advanced techniques to improve joint range, reduce stiffness, and restore alignment and movement integrity.
• Trigger Point Therapy
  Direct pressure and release techniques to deactivate tight, overactive muscle fibres and relieve pain patterns that often refer elsewhere in the body.
• Soft Tissue Mobilisation & Myofascial Release
  Restore tissue pliability, break down adhesions, and improve blood flow — enhancing recovery and reducing muscle guarding.

These techniques aren’t just about short-term relief — they create the conditions for long-term change. When combined with exercise-based rehab and movement retraining, manual therapy accelerates recovery and supports your return to confident, pain-free movement.

Each treatment is tailored to your specific goals and clinical presentation — delivered by HCPC and CSP-registered physiotherapists with advanced training in manual techniques.

Feel the difference. Move with freedom. Recover with purpose.
