Indications for manual therapy include:
- Spinal pain – both chronic and acute, in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar regions.
- Joint dysfunctions – restrictions of mobility, pain in the knee, hip, shoulder or ankle joints.
- Herniated discs – therapy can relieve pressure on nerves and reduce pain.
- Sciatica – pain radiating to the lower extremities due to nerve compression.
- Muscle tension and muscle pain – resulting from overload, injury or chronic stress.
- Postural defects – such as scoliosis, lordosis or kyphosis, which can lead to pain and restricted mobility.
- Sports injuries – speeding up recovery from muscle, joint and tendon injuries.
- Headaches and migraines – especially those resulting from muscle tension in the neck and neck area.
- Mobility restrictions after orthopedic surgeries – rehabilitation after joint and spine surgeries.
- Overload pain syndromes – those resulting from prolonged strain on the body, such as sedentary work.
Manual therapy is also indicated as a form of prevention, helping to maintain proper posture, reduce tension and improve overall function of the musculoskeletal system
