Manual Therapy in Burnaby: Trusted Hands-On Physiotherapy

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach within physiotherapy that uses specific movement-based techniques to treat physical conditions. These techniques include manual muscle manipulation, soft tissue and joint mobilization, all delivered by our expert physiotherapist.

Manual physiotherapy is recommended for patients experiencing joint stiffness, persistent pain, or limitations after injury. Our patients request manual therapy for neck or back pain, sports injuries, TMJ dysfunction, and movement restrictions following surgery or trauma. Because manual therapy treats the physical source of pain, it’s widely used in sports medicine and orthopaedic recovery.

Your first visit begins with a full assessment from a trained manual therapy specialist. We evaluate your current mobility, pain levels, and movement patterns to determine the right recovery plan for you. During treatment, we use targeted manual therapy interventions such as tissue mobilization, joint techniques, and manual muscle release to reduce discomfort and improve function.
