Manual Therapy

An indispensable qualification for a physiotherapist to work in the fields of conservative and operative orthopaedics or accident surgery is the training in manual therapy.

Exact anatomic and biochemical skills as well as an extensive knowledge about wound healing and regeneration characterize manual therapy. Differentiating tests of the joint structures, the musculature and the bones are performed and assessed with regard to agility or pain sensibility.

The cause of loss of mobility, joint blockages, deformities, excessive tensions, contractures or pain-relieving postures can be assessed and effectively treated.

Manual therapy is also applied very effectively for patients with spine difficulties like, for example, a herniated disc.
