How does manual therapy work?
Manual therapy is both a treatment and a diagnostic tool: while working, your therapist can feel exactly which joint or muscle group is causing the problem. Used regularly, it improves how joint surfaces align, boosts circulation and helps affected tissue recover faster.
The treatment also releases tight connective tissue (fascia), which often brings immediate pain relief. It also aims to restore proper muscle balance and healthy spinal alignment.
While physiotherapy requires active effort from you, manual therapy is a passive technique — the therapist works with their hands while your body settles back into a better state.

The manual therapy techniques we use
Our therapists draw on several recognised international schools to find the techniques that suit you.
Maitland technique
An internationally recognised approach built on a detailed musculoskeletal exam, treating the source of pain rather than the symptom — for joint, nerve and connective-tissue issues.
Mulligan method
New Zealand physiotherapist Brian Mulligan's technique combines passive joint mobilisation with active movement. Correcting joint position can bring instant pain relief.
Myers fascia therapy
Based on the Anatomy Trains system, this treatment mobilises and stimulates connective tissue to correct musculoskeletal imbalances.
Typaldos (FDM)
The Fascial Distortion Model restores twisted connective tissue. Particularly effective for acute pain, restricted movement and deep muscle pain.

What patients often ask us
Can the treatment be painful?+
No, manual therapy is deliberately gentle — there are no sudden, forceful movements. Our therapists always work within your pain threshold.
How many sessions will I need?+
For mild complaints 2-5 sessions are often enough; more persistent issues may need a longer programme, which we'll outline after your first assessment.
How is it different from physiotherapy?+
In physiotherapy you actively work your own muscles. In manual therapy the therapist performs the movement and correction by hand while you take a passive role.
Is it a risky procedure?+
No. We only work with trained, experienced manual therapists using proven, safe techniques.
When shouldn't I book a session?+
In case of acute inflammation, fever or a recent injury, get a medical check-up first. If unsure, just call us.
