MANUAL THERAPY

Manual Therapy is the ultimate remedy for your aches in joints and muscles. In general terms it "cleans up" your joint-muscle system out of the blockages that disturb its normal function.

"Manual" means "hand" and, thus, it is a special kind of massage designed to relax stiff muscle and improve blood circulation.

Manual therapist will:

• check the alignment of your spine and pelvis,
• mobilize and gently adjust blocked joints,
• stretch shortened muscles and
• eliminate the trigger points.

This removes the obstacles on the way of the self-healing and the body is able to restore itself.

The essence of manual therapy is the eliminating of the prime cause of pain.

If you want to get a better idea of what the "eliminating of the prime cause" means, perform a funny experiment. Pinch your finger with a door. It hurts, doesn't it? Now try to treat your finger with analgesics, with physiotherapy, with surgery... As long as you keep your finger pinched in a door, the pain will last. The tissues of the finger are suffering from the lack of blood supply. Open the door, let the blood come in, and your pain is gone. The same happens with aches in the spine and joints. Blockages pinch sensitive tissues of joint capsule, disturb blood circulation, cause muscle spasm and... it hurts.

Manual therapy cures these aches with the removal of blockages, adjustment of joints, release of muscles, improvement of blood circulation and, thus, it eliminates the origin of inflammation and pain.
