MANIPULATIVE PHYSIOTHERAPY

Manipulative physiotherapists are highly trained in assessing musculoskeletal disorders. The clinical reasoning processes employed by Manipulative Physiotherapists enables them to reach a diagnosis consistent with the findings of the clinical examination.

Manipulative Physiotherapists are able to offer a high level of skill in the examination and assessment of musculoskeletal disorders, and the application of manual mobilising and manipulative techniques.

Is It Safe?

Prior to all manipulations a full assessment is undertaken including medical history, contraindications to manipulation and assessment of the vertebro-basilar arteries in the neck to ensure the technique chosen is safe and appropriate.

All manipulations performed by Physiotherapists at Shakespeare Physiotherapy + Sports Rehab are mid range manipulations.  This keeps the joint in a position of safety and the manipulation is isolated to that joint.
