Manual therapy is a type of physical therapy that uses hands-on techniques to treat musculoskeletal conditions. It is based on the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself and that manual therapy can help to restore normal movement and function. Manual therapy techniques include joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, and muscle energy techniques. These techniques are used to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and restore normal movement patterns.
Manual therapy is used to treat a variety of conditions, including neck and back pain, shoulder pain, and knee pain. It is also used to treat sports injuries, postural imbalances, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Manual therapy is often used in combination with other treatments, such as exercise and stretching, to provide a comprehensive approach to treatment.
Some companies in the manual therapy market include PhysioTec, TheraBand, and Performance Health. These companies provide a range of products and services, including manual therapy tools, educational materials, and training programs. Show Less Read more
