Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is part of our philosophy at Hands on Physiotherapy. We do not like machines and passive fitness equipment that do not act on the very cause of the problem and usually have temporarily results. We believe in the healing properties of the hands and use them to detect the problem in the body.
Together with your history and an understanding of your way of moving, we find the root of the issue. By combining our expertise in manual therapy with the above elements, we mobilize muscles, skin, joints and nerves. In this way we help you get healthy quickly for the long run!
Acupuncture
It comes from Chinese Medicine, where the body is considered to be a complex mosaic of energy centers and meridians. According to this philosophy, during acupuncture the energy is transferred from surplus areas to energy-scarce areas.
The view of the Western type of acupuncture is that it may positively affect the receptors (i.e. the nerves) by making them less sensitive. In simple terms helping to reduce pain. It also helps to release endorphins and improve local blood circulation.
In Hands on Physiotherapy we usually use acupuncture in case of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries and to deal with chronic back pain.

At Hands on Physiotherapy we love exercise and we consider it an integral part of your recovery process! But because exercise can be risky, we prefer it tailor-made and properly supervised.
