Manual therapy
What is manual therapy?
Manual therapy is a specialisation within physiotherapy that focuses on examining and treating complaints of the joints and the musculoskeletal system. Manual therapy is therefore part of physiotherapy, but the manual therapist has completed an additional master's degree and specialises in the joints and the spine.
The manual therapist uses specific techniques and mobilisations (calm, targeted movements of the joint) to improve joint mobility. This can reduce pain and help the body function better again.
Treatment is aimed at:
- reducing pain
- improving freedom of movement
- optimising how the body functions
Thanks to this targeted approach, complaints can often be treated faster and more effectively.
When can manual therapy help you?
Manual therapy is used for various complaints of the musculoskeletal system. These often involve joints that move less well or feel stiff.
You can come to us for:
- Neck pain and headaches originating from the neck
- Shoulder complaints
- Back pain and lower back pain
- Dizziness related to the neck
- Hip and knee complaints
- Ankle and foot complaints
Manual therapy is often combined with exercise therapy and advice on posture and movement, so the result lasts.
How we work at Fysico Rotterdam
The first appointment starts with an extensive intake, in which we carefully map out your complaints, movement patterns and goals.
The manual therapist then carries out a physical examination to find the cause of your complaints. Based on this, we draw up a personal treatment plan.
During treatment we use mobilisations and specific techniques to improve joint movement. You will also receive exercises and advice to support your recovery.
Our approach is always:
- Personal and goal-oriented
- Focused on the cause of the complaint
- Tailored to your body and load capacity

Frequently asked questions
Treatment can sometimes feel sensitive, but is generally well tolerated and aimed at relieving your complaints.
Manual therapy focuses specifically on joints and movement restrictions, while physiotherapy is broader.
This varies per complaint. During the intake we draw up a personal treatment plan.
