Manual therapy is a physical treatment from a trained Physiotherapist who uses hand movements to improve a patient's function and reduce pain. Manual therapy can include a variety of techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue work, trigger point release, massage or stretching. A detailed assessment will provide you with a provisional diagnosis and a plan for how to improve. If appropriate, Pilates exercises will be incorporated into the treatment by prescribing rehabilitative Pilates exercises that are then taught on our Pilates equipment.
