Move more, feel less pain, with personal care
Manual therapy
Manual therapy made simple, with real results
Do you often experience back, neck, or shoulder pain? Or do you sometimes notice stiffness in your joints? Then manual therapy can help you. Manual therapy sounds complicated, and it can be. Joint mobilizations, fascial techniques, biomechanical analyses.
Some practices overwhelm you with medical jargon. We take a different approach. At The Physio Friends, we clearly explain what’s happening: your shoulder blade is restricted, and we will help restore its movement. We show you what we are going to work on, why it helps, and what you can do yourself.

The treatment
This is what you can expect from our treatment
Manual therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating or painful. We explain each step in advance so you know exactly what to expect and why it helps. If you are uncomfortable with a particular treatment, we will work with you to find a different approach. Your interests come first.
The best part? You don’t have to wait weeks. Joint problems won’t improve on their own. We usually can see you within the same week, giving you personal attention every step of the way. Here’s how we do it:
Intake
We talk about your complaints and goals
Research
We observe how you move and where the limitation lies.
Treatment
We use specialized techniques to restore joint mobility and provide exercises to support your recovery at home.
Advice and guidance
You will receive tips on how to prevent recurrence of symptoms.
Practical information
Practical information about manual therapy
at The Physio Friends
A treatment session lasts approximately 30 minutes. You will often notice improvement quickly, but sometimes multiple appointments are necessary. We will discuss this with you when we discuss your treatment plan. Manual therapy is usually (partially) covered by supplementary insurance. You do not need a referral from your general practitioner.
