There are several different manipulative therapy techniques available from your physiotherapist. Specific soft tissue manipulation can include massage, myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Manipulation can range from a low grade movement, called "passive mobilising", to a fast speed manipulative thrust, where you may feel a click in the joint being manipulated (similar to when one cracks their knuckles). These are all designed to restore pain free movement in a given joint or soft tissue area.
Manipulative therapy can be very effective if performed correctly and in the correct situation. However, to get the best outcome, it is important to conduct a detailed assessment of your condition. Then combining manipulation techniques with other effective treatments as prescribed by a qualified physiotherapist will likely result in a more rapid and sustainable solution.
