UNDERSTANDING YOUR TREATMENT

What is Hands-on Therapy?

Hands-on therapy, also known as manual therapy, is a specialized clinical approach where our physiotherapists use skilled hand movements to manipulate and mobilize joints, muscles, and soft tissues. Instead of relying solely on machines, this highly precise technique reduces tension, improves blood circulation, and restores normal biomechanics to accelerate your body's natural healing process.

Individualised treatment Your treatment is adapted to your movement, symptoms and clinical assessment.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is hands-on therapy painful?
While you may feel some pressure or a "good stretch" during the release of tight muscles, the treatment should not be severely painful. We always communicate with you to ensure the pressure is comfortable.
How is it different from a regular massage?
Unlike a relaxation spa massage, manual physiotherapy is a clinical treatment targeting specific musculoskeletal conditions, joint mechanics, and nerve pathways to treat the root cause of your injury.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on whether your condition is acute or chronic. Many patients feel significant relief after just 1-2 sessions, but a complete treatment plan will be discussed during your initial visit.
Will I be sore after the treatment?
It is common to experience mild muscle soreness for 24-48 hours after deep tissue manipulation, similar to how you feel after a workout. This is a normal part of the healing process.
Do I need a doctor's referral for this treatment?
No, you do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist as a private patient. However, referrals are required for ReturnToWorkSA, MVA, or Medicare EPC plans.
Can hands-on therapy help with long-term chronic pain?
Yes. While it provides immediate relief, it also breaks down long-standing scar tissue and joint stiffness, making it a crucial part of managing long-term chronic pain conditions effectively.
Do I need an X-ray or MRI before starting hands-on therapy?
In most cases, no. Our physiotherapists are highly trained to assess your joints and muscles physically. If diagnostic imaging is required, we will refer you to the appropriate specialist.
