Injury recovery doesn’t have to mean “just rest and wait”. Modern research shows that the combination of skilful manual and soft-tissue therapy, alongside controlled movement and targeted exercise, produces better outcomes for pain, mobility and return-to-activity.
• A 2024 review found manual therapy + exercise outperformed exercise alone.
• In sports settings, manual techniques allow ongoing movement while healing.
• It’s not just physical — reducing pain-related fear and restoring confidence matters too.
If you’ve been sidelined by tension, strain or nagging injury, let’s work together to get you moving again — not just resting.
Book your session today and we’ll craft a recovery plan that uses evidence-backed manual therapy + active rehab for lasting results. 🌿
