Skilled Hands, Guided by Assessment
Manual therapy is a foundation of physiotherapy at AlignAsya — used to reduce pain, improve joint mobility and prepare the body for active exercise. Every technique is chosen based on your assessment, not applied as a one-size-fits-all routine.
Manual therapy is generally gentle and adjusted to your comfort, though certain techniques on tight or restricted areas can feel firm or mildly uncomfortable. Your physiotherapist will always work within a level you're okay with.
Manual therapy is a clinical technique, guided by a physiotherapy assessment and targeted at specific joints or tissues contributing to your condition, rather than general relaxation. It's typically combined with exercise as part of your treatment plan.
This varies based on your condition and how it responds to treatment. Your physiotherapist will reassess regularly and adjust the plan as your mobility and comfort improve.
Usually, yes. Manual therapy works best when paired with active exercise, so you'll typically be given movements to continue between sessions to help the improvements last.
