Manual Therapy FAQ
Is manual therapy painful?
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.
How is manual therapy different from a regular massage?
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.
How many manual therapy sessions will I need?
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.
Will I also need to do exercises at home?
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.
