Is Manual Therapy Right for You?

Manual and manipulative therapy is safe, effective, and suitable for most people, including athletes, office workers, and those recovering from injury.

If you're unsure whether it's appropriate for your condition, our team is happy to advise during your
initial consultation.

 

What Is Manual and Manipulative Therapy?

Manual therapy is a specialised form of physical treatment where physiotherapists use their hands to mobilise joints, manipulate soft tissue, and guide your body back into better alignment and function.

Manipulative therapy involves more targeted techniques - often quick and controlled movements - that improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and relieve pain.

Both approaches are evidence-based, highly effective, and tailored to your unique needs.

What To Expect During Treatment?

At your appointment, your Wellington physiotherapist will begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify the source of your discomfort. From there, we may use techniques such as:
 

  • Joint mobilisations

  • Spinal manipulations

  • Soft tissue release

  • Muscle energy techniques

  • Manual stretching and positioning
     

Your treatment plan may also include exercises, postural correction, and education to support long-term results.
