They share similarities, such as hands-on techniques for joints and muscles. Manual therapy is broader, including gentle mobilisation, soft tissue work, and guided movement strategies.

Manual therapy can support comfort and mobility in people experiencing back or leg tension. It does not replace medical assessment. Always consult your GP if you suspect nerve-related pain.

How does manual therapy support sports and activity?
