Manual Therapy
All techniques in which a therapist treats musculoskeletal problems with their hands rather than with physical therapy machines.
A structured process of diagnosing and treating neuromusculoskeletal disease and joint dysfunction. It realigns the spine and joints and returns muscles to their normal length.
Manual muscle therapy
Stimulates the affected tissue to promote lymph and blood circulation, effective for reducing swelling and restoring range of motion.
Manual spinal and joint therapy
Corrects misaligned spinal joints and releases muscle stiffness to fix body imbalance. Because spinal joint problems often come with body twisting, continued manual therapy after treatment is recommended.
Alignment and movement re-education
Finds the cause of pain and corrects it so related conditions do not return, treating structural and nervous-system problems with a structured exercise program and repeated practice.
Recommended for
- Joint contracture after spinal or joint treatment
- Shoulder conditions before or after surgery where range of motion has not yet recovered
- Preventing recurrence or chronic pain
- Rehabilitation after knee, shoulder, neck or back surgery
Safe
Correction by hand places no strain on the body.
Effective for posture
Stimulates muscles, fascia and nerves as well as joints, relieving pain and correcting posture.
Wide range of use
Helps not only spinal and joint problems but also hard-to-treat nerve-related issues such as headache and dizziness.
Questions patients ask
Isn't it just massage?
Massage simply relaxes muscles. Manual therapy is based on expert knowledge of anatomy and physiology and follows structured steps to treat the cause of pain.
How is manual therapy done at WeLive?
We examine your body closely before treatment. With structured therapy and steady follow-up, we aim to restore lost physical function as much as possible, and give ongoing feedback after treatment so daily life becomes comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
Changes built up over years of habits and posture don't reverse at once. The period depends on each person, but with regular sessions you will feel a difference along the way.
Is once a week enough?
Two or three sessions a week bring improvement faster, ideally on alternate days. Right after a session, muscle tension drops and pain eases; to keep that effect, it needs to be reinforced before old habits return. If you can only come once a week, work on correcting your habits between sessions.
AftercareThe first sessions may bring slight soreness or aches. You will be given stretches and exercises; practice them in daily life for better results.
