What is Spine Physiotherapy?

Spinal physiotherapy is a sub-specialty discipline of musculoskeletal physiotherapy and uses any available physical intervention such as manual therapy, specific or general exercise (to name a few) to provide clinically justified, evidence-based and sustainable solutions for movement or posturally-mediated spinal problems.

What Are Benefits Of Spine Physiotherapy

Spinal mobilisation or spinal manipulation may help to restore the spine’s mechanics , reduce pain and trigger the body’s natural healing process.

Some studies show that spinal manual therapy may:

Help relieve chronic lower back pain (chronic means pain that’s been going on for over 12 weeks)
Help treat neck pain.
