PHYSIOTHERAPY – MANUAL THERAPY

A typical Physiotherapy session – The Physiotherapy approach used at our clinics starts off with a thorough assessment to determine the root cause to your problem.

This expert assessment will serve to determine where your symptoms are coming from and what build up of events has lead to this scenario. Once the diagnosis is made, your therapist will perform a series of manual techniques to provide pain relief and improve quality and quantity of movement.

Following this, your therapist will prescribe simple yet specific exercises for you to carry out at home, to compliment the benefits achieved in the clinic.

The effectiveness of these exercises does not lie in their complexity but rather in the frequency that they are done.

Leave it to your physiotherapist to design specific exercises that will target your pain and mobility problem.

Manual Therapy – what makes it stand out?

Physiotherapists undergoing specialized training in the application of manual techniques are known as Manual Therapists.  The Physiotherapy practiced under Maxima-Concept forms part of these specially trained therapists.

These techniques draw from the best that can be offered from the three major disciplines in the field i.e Osteopathy, Chiropractic and Physiotherapy. By having all these techniques in their tool box, Manual Therapists can choose an approach and treatment that directly caters for your needs and condition. 

There are no two ways about it: an impinged nerve must be released; a tight muscle needs to be switched off and stretched; healing in ligaments and tendons needs to be stimulated and increased; adhesions of the fascia need to be released. The good news is that there is copious evidence to put Manual Therapy in the forefront of effectiveness when it comes to treating these conditions.
