The hands-on reset your body’s been asking for.

The Approach

What is manual therapy?

A range of hands-on techniques designed to relieve pain, restore movement and optimise function.

Central to physiotherapy

Manual therapy is central to musculoskeletal physiotherapy and a core treatment approach at Lively Physio & Pilates, working on the muscles, joints and fascia.

A reset for the body

Many clients describe manual therapy as a “reset” — particularly myofascial release, which feels like a targeted yet deeply relieving form of soft-tissue treatment.
The Toolkit

Techniques we use

In experienced hands, these techniques are adapted to your condition and goals.

Joint mobilisations

Targeted techniques to restore movement and reduce stiffness in restricted joints.

Myofascial & massage

Soft- and deep-tissue work to ease tightness, improve circulation and address trigger points.

Muscle energy techniques

Active treatments that use your own muscle contractions to improve mobility.

Distractions

Gentle separation techniques to relieve compressed, irritated joints.
Why It Works

Lasting relief, not just a quick fix

The strength of manual therapy lies in its adaptability — tailored to exactly what your body needs.

We rarely use it in isolation: combined with dry needling, taping and a tailored exercise program, your relief lasts well beyond the treatment table.
  • Relieves acute & chronic back and neck pain
  • Eases headaches and sports injuries
  • Improves joint mobility and flexibility
  • Reduces muscle tension, swelling & inflammation
  • Restores whole-body balance and movement
What It Helps

Manual therapy can help with

Real-Time Ultrasound Machine (RTUS)

Our latest addition to our clinic is this wonderful machine. The RTUS is used to assess and train a person’s deep core muscles (transversus abdominis/multifidus) and pelvic floor muscles.

This machine works just like the one for pregnant women, but the emphasis is on muscles. The screen will show the specific muscles and then the training will be directed by one of our qualified physiotherapists.

The RTUS is ideal for:

  • People with neck pain and lower back pain
  • Pre and Post-Pregnancy
  • Pre and Post-Spinal Surgery
  • People with Incontinence (Stress and Urgency)
  • Women with organ Prolapse
