What is manipulative physiotherapy?

Manipulative physiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy that concerns the practical treatment of joint and muscle problems. Therapists specializing in this type of physiotherapy are highly qualified in the evaluation, diagnosis and use of manipulative techniques to manage musculoskeletal conditions. Conditions treated with manipulative physiotherapy include musculoskeletal, sports and work injuries that are treated with soft tissue handling and mobilizing joints in the limbs and back. These courses can be referred to as manipulative physiotherapy or, as more common, musculoskeletal physiotherapy as recognition of the fact that not every condition will require physical manipulation. Objectives of manipulative physiotherapy include reducing pain, controlling azotization and improving flexibility, strength and coordination. This allows you to manage the status diagnosed in the most accurate and effective way. Evidence has shown that techniques used in manipulative physiotherapy such as therapy of spinal manipulation (SMT), along with evaluation techniques, such as McHod® McHod® and promoting activity at the beginning of the treatment process, are more effective than treatment such as massage, bed rest and pain relief such as analgesics.

There are three approaches to handling the spine. The aim of osteopathy is to increase mobility by restoring complete movement on the backbone. Chiropraksic focuses on moving the dislocated vertebra back to the place and manipulative physiotherapy focuses on the release of joints and stretch muscles. Tissue injury through a single event, such as clumsy lifting of the object or repeated stress over time, may lead to a reduction in the movement of joints that cause pain and disability. The aim of handling joints controlled movements is to relieve muscle tightness, restore mobility and reduce pain and discomfort.

Physiotherapy is used not only in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries but also used forEven the treatment of neurological conditions such as stroke, in conditions such as multiple sclerosis and cardiotoracal conditions such as asthma. In addition to manual therapies such as manipulative physiotherapy, exercise programs and electrotherapy techniques, depending on the treatment plan. Electrotherapeutic techniques include the use of ultrasound, laser therapy and electrical nerve electrical stimulation.
