Manual Therapy
At Pramukh Advance Physiotherapy Center, we believe in hands-on healing. Our Manual Therapy services are designed to restore mobility, reduce pain, and enhance your overall physical function through expert, hands-on techniques delivered by our experienced physiotherapists.
What is Manual Therapy?
Manual Therapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that involves skilled hand movements and techniques to assess, diagnose, and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It includes a wide range of techniques like joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, muscle stretching, and trigger point therapy — all aimed at improving mobility, relieving pain, and restoring normal function.
Unlike machine-based treatments, manual therapy allows for personalized, direct interaction between the therapist and the patient, ensuring a more precise and responsive treatment approach.
How Manual Therapy Helps
Manual therapy techniques are used to:
- Reduce joint and muscle pain
- Restore movement in stiff joints
- Improve muscle flexibility and strength
- Break down scar tissue and adhesions
- Promote relaxation and reduce stress
- Enhance circulation and healing
- Correct posture and alignment issues
It is especially effective when combined with therapeutic exercises and other modalities.

Free ask question?
Some techniques may cause mild discomfort or a "stretching" sensation, especially if tissues are tight. However, it should not be painful. Always let your therapist know if you're feeling uncomfortable during treatment.
Manual therapy is usually part of a full physiotherapy session and may last 10–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and goals.
The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of your condition, your response to treatment, and overall goals. Your physiotherapist will develop a personalized plan for you.
Mild soreness, stiffness, or fatigue in the treated area is common and typically resolves within 24–48 hours. Serious side effects are rare when performed by a trained professional.
Absolutely! Manual Therapy works best when integrated with:
- Exercise therapy
- Stretching and strengthening routines
- Electrotherapy (TENS, IFT)
- Heat or cold therapy
- Postural correction and ergonomic advice
