What is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy delivered with the hands rather than devices or machines. At PhysioNutra Clinic, our skilled physiotherapists use their hands to apply precise pressure, mobilize joints, and manipulate soft tissues to reduce pain, increase range of motion, and restore function.
This hands-on approach is highly effective for treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from acute injuries to chronic pain. Our therapists are trained in advanced manual therapy techniques and customize each treatment to your specific needs and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about manual therapy
What is manual therapy?
Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment approach where skilled physiotherapists use their hands to manipulate, mobilize, and massage body tissues. This includes techniques like joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, myofascial release, and spinal manipulation to reduce pain, increase range of motion, and improve function.
Is manual therapy painful?
Manual therapy should not be painful. You may experience some discomfort or pressure during treatment, but it should be within your comfort level. Our therapists work within your pain tolerance and adjust techniques accordingly. Many patients find manual therapy relaxing and experience immediate relief.
How many manual therapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, severity, and response to treatment. Most patients see improvement within 3-6 sessions, but chronic conditions may require longer treatment. Your physiotherapist will create a personalized treatment plan and adjust it based on your progress.
How long does each manual therapy session last?
Each manual therapy session typically lasts 30-45 minutes. This includes hands-on treatment and may also incorporate exercises, stretches, or other complementary therapies. The initial assessment may take longer (60-90 minutes) to thoroughly evaluate your condition.
Can manual therapy help with chronic pain?
Yes! Manual therapy is highly effective for chronic pain conditions like lower back pain, neck pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. It addresses muscle tension, joint restrictions, and movement patterns that contribute to chronic pain. Combined with exercise and lifestyle modifications, it can provide significant long-term relief.
Is manual therapy safe?
Yes, manual therapy is very safe when performed by qualified, experienced physiotherapists. At PhysioNutra Clinic, our therapists are trained in advanced manual therapy techniques and conduct thorough assessments to ensure treatment is appropriate for your condition. Serious complications are extremely rare.
What should I wear to a manual therapy session?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. For example, shorts for leg/knee treatment, or a tank top for shoulder/back treatment. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain treatments to ensure proper access.
Will I feel sore after manual therapy?
Some mild soreness or stiffness for 24-48 hours after treatment is normal, similar to post-exercise soreness. This is a sign that your body is responding to treatment. Applying ice and staying hydrated can help. Most patients feel better within a day or two and notice improvement in their condition.
