Manual Therapy
Manual Therapy
The Manual Therapist remedies the functional disorder of the joint by applying specific passive mobilizing movements. By moving the body parts around the joint in a certain way, the mobility of the joints can be rapidly increased. The pain decreases and the movement of the joints can improve.
Usually pulling gently or pushing against the body parts is sufficient. Sometimes the Manual Therapist supplements this treatment with dosed impulse techniques. The joints are then moved a little faster. One can sometimes hear a crackling sound. Most patients experience this as a short-lived, strange feeling, but generally do not find it painful. The effects are often immediately noticeable, you experience an increase in the freedom of movement and often a decrease in pain.
