Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a hands on approach to physiotherapy. Our highly trained therapists will utilize specialized manual and manipulative therapy techniques to support you on your road to recovery, by helping to reduce pain, improve muscle function, and restore lost mobility.

Techniques that may be employed during this therapy include manual manipulation of joints, soft tissue and joint mobilization, various soft issue techniques, and other specifically chosen exercises aimed to work in support of your manual therapy.

How Manual Therapy Supports Recovery

While all physiotherapy includes a hand-on aspect, manual therapy is different in that specifically uses hand pressure in the manipulation and mobilization of soft tissue and joints, in an effort to reduce pain, and improve mobility. Regardless of the cause, type of therapy can help individuals suffering from various injuries, including:

• Chronic headache
• Radiating nerve pain
• Neck and spine pain
• Herniated discs
• Degenerative joint disorder
• Sciatica pain

Working with Revitalize Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic, our extremely skilled physiotherapists in Vancouver & Surrey can use manual manipulation, along with other techniques, to get you back to enjoying the same level of physical fitness as you were pre-injury.
