Manual Therapy Session
Hands-on treatment delivered by the physiotherapist, targeting the joint and the soft tissue around it. It is used to open up restricted movement and reduce pain.

An initial assessment: listening to the complaint, then measuring range of motion and muscle strength.
- 2
Agreeing the session frequency and the goals for manual therapy together with the patient.
- 3
Delivering the sessions and repeating the measurements at the end of each one.
- 4
Handing over the home exercise programme and scheduling the review appointment.

Myofascial Release
