Maitland

Maitland refers to a clinical approach used by physiotherapists focused on assessing and treating joint and soft tissue problems through specific, gentle movements. It emphasizes understanding how joints move and diagnosing restrictions or dysfunctions to restore normal movement and reduce pain. The method involves careful manual techniques to identify limitations and apply precise mobilizations or manipulations, supporting recovery without aggressive procedures. Maitland's approach is adaptable for various musculoskeletal conditions, aiming to improve function and alleviate discomfort through targeted, evidence-based manual therapy.
