Manual Therapy

Physiotherapists specialise in using hands-on techniques to assess, treat, and manage physical conditions, promoting recovery and improving movement through manual therapy.

Summary

At Power Physio, our manual therapy services involve hands-on techniques to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Our skilled physiotherapists use a range of techniques, including joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, and stretching, to address muscle tension and joint stiffness. Each session is tailored to the individual’s needs, helping to promote recovery, reduce discomfort, and support long-term physical wellbeing. Manual therapy is especially effective in managing pain, enhancing movement, and complementing exercise-based rehabilitation.
