02Manual therapy

Hands-on treatment that gives you room to move.

Hands-on joint mobilisation and soft-tissue work to settle pain and give the joint back its natural, easy movement.

01Overview

Manual therapy is skilled, hands-on work applied to joints, muscle and connective tissue — mobilisation, soft-tissue release, stretching and guided movement.

It is genuinely effective at settling pain and restoring range, which then makes the active part of your rehabilitation possible. It works best as the door-opener, not as the whole program.

Commonly treated
  • Neck stiffness and headaches of neck origin
  • Lower back pain and stiffness
  • Thoracic and rib joint restriction
  • Frozen or stiff shoulder
  • Hip and gluteal tightness
  • Muscular tension from work and desk posture
02The approach

How we work through it, stage by stage.

  • 01Examine

    Map the restriction

    We test movement joint by joint to find what is actually limited, rather than treating wherever it happens to feel sore.

  • 02Treat

    Restore the movement

    Graded joint mobilisation and soft-tissue technique, applied at a pressure you are comfortable with and never pushed through guarding.

  • 03Hold

    Make the change stick

    Movement and strength work straight after treatment so the new range gets used — that is what turns a good session into a lasting change.

03Questions

The things people ask before booking.

  • It should not. Some techniques create a firm stretch or a familiar ache, but everything is graded to your comfort and you can ask to ease off at any point.
