Indication
The technique follows assessment rather than pain location alone.
MANUAL THERAPY
A selected intervention within an active plan.
Manual techniques are used when they support a defined objective and are reassessed against the response.

WITHIN THIS CATEGORY
What this category includes
The individual plan selects the relevant methods and activities from this category; they are not all applied at every session.
- Joint mobilisation
- Soft-tissue techniques
- Passive and assisted movement
- Assisted stretching
ROLE IN THE PLAN
Four decisions that make the intervention understandable.
The individual plan follows assessment; a method is used only when it serves a clear objective.
Objective
Use is linked to movement, symptoms or a functional step.
Response
Effect is reassessed rather than assumed.
Active integration
The intervention combines with education, movement and load when appropriate.
PROCESS
From the clinical reason to the next decision.
Every step should be understandable to the patient and connected with progress.
- 01
Assessment
A potentially modifiable restriction is defined and precautions are checked.
- 02
Objective
The technique is linked with an expected immediate result such as movement or tolerance.
- 03
Application
Technique and intensity are adapted to the area and patient response.
- 04
Retest
The same marker is checked again to decide whether the intervention adds value.
MEASUREMENT
Effect should be checked, not assumed.
After the technique, the selected marker is rechecked and the intervention is connected with active movement or loading.
The result of one session is not interpreted separately from function and overall progress.
WHAT WE CHECK
01Target movement
02Symptoms during the task
03Load tolerance
04Value for the active phase
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you begin.
Answers are general; individual decisions follow assessment.
Is manual therapy used in every session?
No. Use depends on the phase objective and measured response.
Should it be painful?
Intensity is adapted to the technique, area and tolerance; severe pain is not the goal.
Why is it combined with exercise?
To connect a temporary change in symptoms or movement with capacity and function.
