In your daily routine, pain, stiffness, or difficulty moving can gradually have a negative effect. Even basic actions such as turning your neck, tying your shoes, or lifting your arm might start to hurt or feel uncomfortable. When the body stops functioning as it should, it needs more than just exercise. It requires skilled, guided hands-on care.
At Anandi’s Physiotherapy, manual therapy is an essential part of treatment for people that wish to experience lasting results and improved movement.
At Anandi’s Physiotherapy we are dedicated to providing our clients with a tailored Manual Therapy approach that is specific to their needs. So we take the time to really listen to you, find out what is causing you pain and then develop a personalised treatment plan to help restore normal, safe movement to you as a client.
What Is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy is a technique used by physiotherapists to alleviate pain and improve movement in the Joints (i.e DOI), Muscles (i.e. DO2) Nerves (i.e D03) as well as the Soft Tissues (i.e. DO4).
Unlike other methods of treating patients using machines or devices, Manual Therapy techniques are performed by a physiotherapist who has trained in the speciality and who uses his/her clinical expertise, skills and touch to treat your injuries.
At Anandi’s Physiotherapy we do not rush through the manual therapy process. The techniques we choose to use are based on your individual condition, your comfort level, and your level of recovery. In addition, we typically combine these treatments with Corrective Exercise.
Our goal is to achieve long-lasting improvement rather than just short term relief.

Manual Therapy Techniques Used at Anandi’s Physiotherapy
Joint Mobilisation
Mobilisation of joints involves the use of soft, controlled movements applied to joints that have become stiff. These movements serve to increase the range of motion of a joint, promote circulation to the joint area, and reduce pain. All mobilising techniques are carried out only as tolerated and within a comfortable range.
Mobilisation Techniques are always directed toward reducing the discomfort and facilitating mobility for the patient, while at the same time increasing the flexibility of the patient’s joints and tissues. Mobilisation can be applied to all joints and uses a variety of movements based on the type of joint being treated.
Joint Manipulation
Manipulation is a specific type of joint manipulation that provides a gentle, high-velocity, and low-objective manipulation to assist the trained professional in reducing pain and restoring normal function to the joint. Manipulation is only used when it is both indicated and safe for the patient.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue therapy includes manual therapy techniques such as massage (deep tissue, sports, therapeutic) used to release contracted muscles and/or create better tissue quality.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release targets specific structures within the body that may be causing pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and decreased function due to a restriction on those structures
Trigger Point Release
Trigger point release provides relief from muscle tension due to trigger points (sensitive, localised areas of muscle) through the use of specific techniques that target the area(s) of pain and/or loss of mobility.
Muscle Energy Techniques
Muscle energy techniques involve using the patient’s own strength against the therapist’s resistance to improve joint mobility and restore normal function.
Neural Mobilisation
Neural mobilisation is a technique that works with the patient’s nerve system and provides a small degree of mobilisation for the affected nerves to reduce pain and prevent or improve any reflexes related to nerve function.
Each technique is applied with continuous feedback from the patient to ensure comfort and safety.
