At the VHI SwiftCare Clinics, Our Physios are experts on the body’s musco-skeletal system and will use Manipulation and Mobilisation as part of their treatment dependent on your condition.
Manipulative Therapy is the skilful restoration of mobility to soft tissues and joints using a variety of mobilisation and manipulative techniques. The application of Manipulative Therapy as a remedial therapy is based upon a thorough understanding of anatomy and Physiology. It aims to re-balance the musculoskeletal system, by working specifically on muscles, tendons, joints, fascia and ligaments, thus making remedial massage a powerful yet non traumatic therapy. The precise mobilisation and manipulation of joints is a natural extension of the re-balancing of soft tissue, thus allowing freedom of movement within the joints so facilitating the normal function of the vascular and neural systems.
Manipulation is a high speed movement usually performed on the neck or back. It helps to reduce pain and improve flexibility. It is a core skill of Physiotherapy training.
Mobilisation is a gentle, slow movement performed on joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves to reduce pain and improve flexibility and can be varied in intensity.
