Manual therapy is the hands-on part of physiotherapy: techniques applied directly to joints and soft tissue to restore movement and reduce pain. On its own it brings relief; combined with exercise it brings lasting change. Fzt. Aydın Ali therefore never uses it as a stand-alone treatment.
Manual therapy opens a window: movement improves and pain settles. If nothing is done with that window, the body returns to its previous pattern within days. Exercise is what keeps the gain.
For that reason every session ends with the movements you will repeat at home.
Techniques are applied within tolerable limits. Some tenderness during soft tissue work is normal; sharp pain is not the aim and you are asked to say so at any point.
No. Massage targets muscle relaxation; manual therapy is applied to a specific joint or tissue on the basis of an assessment, with a defined goal.
Some techniques produce a sound, many do not. The sound is not a measure of success and no technique is applied without your consent.
It is decided after the assessment. In most cases the hands-on component is short and the exercise component continues.
An exercise-based, one-to-one physiotherapy programme for back pain and pain radiating into the leg.
A programme focused on posture and the deep neck muscles for pain spreading into the neck, shoulder and arm.
Curve-specific exercise and regular monitoring for spinal curvature and postural problems.
The appointment form does not ask for health information; details are discussed by phone.
