Hands-On Help for Pain and Movement
At Broadbeach Physio, manual therapy is one of the core tools we use to help you move better and feel better. But what exactly is it? And how can it help?
Manual therapy is a specialised, hands-on approach used by our physiotherapists to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Manual therapy can assist with easing tight muscles, restoring normal movement, reducing pain, and improving your body’s function as a whole.
✋ What does manual therapy include?
Our therapists are trained in a variety of techniques, including:
✅Joint mobilisations: gentle movements to improve joint stiffness and range of motion
✅Soft tissue release: targeted pressure to release muscle tension and knots
✅Myofascial release: easing restrictions in the connective tissue
✅Trigger point therapy: relieving localised areas of tightness and referred pain
✅Dry needling: fine needles inserted into tight areas to release muscle tension
✅Stretching and muscle energy techniques: active methods to restore balance and flexibility
✅These techniques are always tailored to your individual needs, injury history, and treatment goals.
💡 Who can benefit?
Manual therapy can be effective for a wide range of conditions, including:
✅Neck and back pain
✅Joint stiffness or restriction
✅Sports injuries
✅Headaches related to muscle tension
✅Postural issues
✅General muscular tightness and overuse injuries
🧠 It’s not just physical...
Manual therapy also has neurological benefits. By stimulating the nervous system and encouraging better communication between your brain and body, it can reduce pain perception and promote long-term healing.
👣 A holistic approach
At Broadbeach Physio, we often combine manual therapy with exercise rehab, education, and lifestyle advice for the best outcomes. It’s all about empowering you to take control of your health with expert support at every step.
