Manual therapy
When do you see a manual therapist?
When joints do not move as well, it can cause pain and postural problems. Manual therapy helps joints move more smoothly and improve posture. To do this, the therapist uses special techniques applied directly to the joints.
The effects of manual therapy are often immediately noticeable! You feel an improvement in range of motion and decrease in pain.

method of the manual therapist
The first appointment consists of an interview and a physical examination. The therapist assesses whether the symptoms fall within the scope of a physical therapist or manual therapist. During the physical examination, the manual therapist examines the joints and assesses posture and movement. This helps identify the causes of the symptoms. Together with the client, the manual therapist decides whether manual therapy would be appropriate. If it is not, the manual therapist will discuss a plan for further treatment with the client. This way, the next steps are clear immediately after the first appointment.
