Manual Therapy involves the use of hands on treatment to mobilize joints and soft tissue to restore movement and function. Each therapist has taken extensive post graduate training in manual therapy and brings a unique skill set to Hazelwood Physiotherapy. Your physiotherapist will determine the appropriate manual therapy that will benefit your injury.

• Exercise Therapy incorporates specific exercises to stretch, strengthen and stabilize the injured and surrounding areas. Each client is assessed to determine their flexibility, strength and core stability with respect to the injury.

Through the use of in-clinic exercises and home exercise programs, combined with manual therapy our goal is to promote an early return to activity and function.
