Manual Therapy offers many advantages and benefits.
For The Clinician
- Provides improved diagnostic treatment
- Detects major and minor fibrotic changes
- Increases patient satisfaction by achieving notably better outcomes
For The Patient
- Decreases overall time of treatment
- Fosters faster rehabilitation/recovery
- Decreases perception of tightness and pain
- Reduces need for anti-inflammatory medication
The goal of these therapies is to provide the sensation of relief through moderate pressure, touch, and movement while providing an increase in range of motion and facilitating the healing process.
When assessing for musculoskeletal system, it is important to appropriately address the muscles as they may be limiting range of motion or unable to provide stability to a joint. Determining mobility restriction versus a stability issue is a clinical skill and should be addressed by a properly trained clinician.
