A manual therapist is a physiotherapist who has gained additional knowledge about the movement possibilities, particularly of the spine.
If you have difficulty moving a joint or experience pain there, a manual therapist can be helpful. The complaints that a manual therapist can treat are diverse. When you visit one, you often have complaints that are located around or on the spine. These may or may not radiate to the arms, legs, or chest.
The movement-related issues associated with this can often relieved immediately through manual therapy. Joints function better, and movement becomes easier.



Whether and how manual therapy can help with your specific complaint will become clear during the screening and/or intake and examination. The manual therapist will look at the exact issue with you and develop a treatment plan. The speed of recovery also depends on your own effort. Together with you, the manual therapist will decide if manual physiotherapy is suitable for you. If not, they will always look for an appropriate treatment method.
