Manual therapy is a passive treatment technique: with therapeutic hand techniques we restore joints and release tight muscles. Many patients feel significant relief after the very first session.
What is manual therapy?
Manual therapy is not only a treatment but also a diagnostic method. Used regularly, it improves joint surface contact, supports joint circulation and cartilage nutrition. The hands-on techniques speed up tissue regeneration — the therapy therefore also has an anti-inflammatory effect.
It also releases adhesions of the connective tissue (fascia) and can reduce pain immediately. Additional goals include restoring muscle tone and returning healthy spinal curvature or joint position.
Physiotherapy is an active, exercise-like method; by contrast, manual therapy is a passive, manipulative technique in which the therapist restores the ideal position of the body by external action.

For many patients 2–5 sessions are enough; for more serious complaints a longer programme is advised — you'll get a realistic plan at the first consultation.
