hands-on therapy

Hands-on therapy involves skilled physical contact to assess and treat musculoskeletal issues, such as joint or muscle pain. Therapists use techniques like manual manipulation, mobilization, and soft tissue work to improve movement, reduce discomfort, and promote healing. It relies on the therapist's knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics to identify problem areas and apply targeted interventions. This approach can help restore function, alleviate pain, and support recovery without medication, often complementing other treatments like exercise or physical therapy. Hands-on therapy is commonly used by chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists, and physical therapists to enhance overall musculoskeletal health.
