Manual Therapy in Riviera del Sol and Marbella

Manual therapy combines precise hands-on techniques (joint mobilisations, soft tissue work) with active rehabilitation and advanced clinical reasoning. It treats acute sports injuries, spinal conditions, overuse injuries and complex joint pain with a results-driven approach.

Massage focuses primarily on muscle relaxation. Manual therapy uses clinical diagnosis to guide treatment, combines hands-on techniques with active rehabilitation and movement correction, and aims to restore optimal function, not just comfort.

Yes. Complex disc-related problems, including herniations and radiating nerve pain, are assessed and often treated using the McKenzie Method (MDT), a globally recognised protocol. Treatment is evidence-based and progressive, with measurable outcomes.

The McKenzie Method (MDT) is a systematic assessment and classification approach for spinal pain and dysfunction. It identifies which direction your spine prefers to move, then uses targeted positioning and exercises to centralise pain and promote healing. Outcomes are well-researched.

Initial assessments typically take 60 minutes. Follow-up sessions are usually 45 minutes. Duration depends on your condition and response to treatment. Your therapist provides a realistic timeline during your initial assessment based on your diagnosis.

Yes. Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) responds well to manual therapy combining soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation and progressive rehabilitation. We address the underlying biomechanical cause to prevent recurrence and restore full function.

Yes. Runner's knee usually involves biomechanical issues affecting the hip, knee and ankle. Manual therapy assesses the whole chain, uses targeted techniques and teaches corrective movement patterns. Addressing the cause (not just pain) prevents the problem recurring.
