Manual therapy
The manual therapist specializes in the treatment of patients with complaints of the spine or joints in the arms and legs.
Common complaints that the manual therapist treats
-
head, neck and shoulder complaints with pain radiating into the arms
-
high back complaints with rib and chest pain
-
osteoarthritis of the hip
-
low back pain, possibly with pain radiating to the legs
-
certain dizziness induced by moving the neck
-
jaw complaints, possibly combined with neck complaints.
Joints can also have too much mobility. This can lead to instability and complaints. The manual therapist can, with specific training advice, teach a patient joints by making muscles more stable
