Manual Therapy is sometimes referred to as hands-on physiotherapy. Physiotherapists use their hands to administer manual therapy techniques to diagnose and treat restrictions in joint and soft-tissue movement causing musculoskeletal pain and disability. They use manual therapy to help reduce muscle tension, improve joint movement, reduce pain and improve function. The manual therapy techniques administered at Custom Physiotherapy & Athletic Performance may include spinal or peripheral joint mobilization or manipulation, massage, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, muscle energy techniques as well as neuromuscular techniques.
