Methodology
Manual therapists look at the way people move and make the joints work better. To do this, the manual therapist uses a number of specific techniques that can be applied in the joints. As a result, they move (again) smoothly and pain decreases. Manual therapists have completed a four-year advanced training course in manual therapy after studying physiotherapy.
Complaints that the manual therapist treats
- Head and neck pain (often in conjunction with stiff upper back)
- Neck pain (radiating into the arm or not)
- Complaints high in the back with rib and chest pain
- Hip pain
- Low back pain (even if it radiates to the leg)
- Dizziness that comes from movement of the neck
- Jaw pain (sometimes in conjunction with neck pain)
