Manual therapy consists of a wide range of hands-on interventions, which may include soft tissue mobilizations, joint mobilizations or manipulations.
The team at Modern Physiotherapy are proud to be involved with the internationally recognised post-graduate course Manual Concepts. We pride ourselves in delivering safe and effective manual therapy techniques.
Our physiotherapists have undergone extensive training and are highly skilled in delivering a range of manual therapy techniques specific to your presenting condition. A thorough assessment will be carried out prior to the application of manual therapy techniques.
