Manual Therapy in London, Ontario

Manual therapy has a long history within the profession of physical therapy. Research has revealed intricate neurophysiologic mechanisms which are at play and the useful psychological effects of providing hands-on treatment.

The International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (IFOMPT) defines orthopaedic manual physical therapy as: "a specialised area of physiotherapy/physical therapy for the management of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions, based on clinical reasoning, using highly specific treatment approaches including manual techniques and therapeutic exercises. Orthopaedic manual therapy also encompasses, and is driven by, the available scientific and clinical evidence and the biopsychosocial framework of each individual patient."

Treatment Process

Manual therapy delivered early in the treatment process combined with exercises and education has proven to be very effective in managing physical dysfunction.
