Hands-On Manual Physiotherapy
Advanced Electrotherapy & Biofeedback
Clinical Objectives
Our manual physiotherapy is driven by specific, measurable clinical goals tailored to your individual diagnosis.
Pain Modulation
Directly influencing the nervous system to reduce the perception of pain.
Joint Kinematics Restoration
Correcting abnormal joint motion to improve function and reduce mechanical stress.
Tissue Extensibility
Enhancing flexibility and mobility of muscle, fascia, and neural structures.
Inflammation Reduction
Promoting circulation and lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling.
Neuromuscular Control
Improving coordination between muscles and the central nervous system.
Manual Therapy Techniques We Use
Our physiotherapists use a comprehensive portfolio of evidence-based manual therapy techniques, tailored to your specific clinical presentation.
Joint Mobilisation
Graded oscillatory movements applied to joints to restore normal arthrokinematics (glide, roll, spin), reducing stiffness and pain.
Myofascial Release
Targets fascial restrictions to improve mobility, reduce tension, and restore functional movement patterns.
Trigger Point Release
Sustained pressure on muscle knots to relieve localized tension and referred pain patterns.
Muscle Energy Techniques (METs)
Active technique using controlled muscle contractions to improve alignment, reduce tightness, and enhance joint positioning.
Strain-Counterstrain
Gentle positioning method that resets neuromuscular reflexes and reduces muscle guarding and dysfunction.
Clinical Objectives
- Pain Modulation: Directly influencing the nervous system to reduce the perception of pain.
- Restoration of Optimal Joint Kinematics: Correcting aberrant joint motion to improve function and reduce mechanical stress.
- Improvement of Tissue Extensibility: Enhancing the mobility and flexibility of muscle, fascia, and neural structures.
- Reduction of Soft Tissue Inflammation and Swelling: Promoting lymphatic drainage and local circulation.
- Enhancement of Neuromuscular Control: Improving the feedback loop between muscles and the central nervous system.
Manual Therapy Techniques We Use at DENOVO
Our physiotherapists are proficient in a comprehensive portfolio of evidence-based manual techniques. Your treatment will be formulated from the following modalities based on your clinical presentation
Our physiotherapists in Preston use a range of evidence-based manual therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs:
Joint Mobilisation
Skilled, graded oscillatory movements applied to a joint capsule to restore normal arthrokinematics (glide, roll, spin). This technique helps reduce joint stiffness and alleviate pain.Myofascial Release
A specialised technique targeting the fascial system—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles and organs. It releases abnormal tension, improves mobility, and reduces discomfort.Trigger Point Release (Ischemic Compression)
Application of precise, sustained pressure to neuromuscular trigger points (“muscle knots”) to resolve localized tension and relieve both local and referred pain patterns.Muscle Energy Techniques (METs)
An active method where the patient performs a controlled muscle contraction against the therapist’s resistance. This leverages autogenic and reciprocal inhibition to relax tight muscles and realign joint position.Strain-Counterstrain
A gentle technique involving passive body positioning into a pain-free state. It works by resetting neurological pathways responsible for muscle guarding and dysfunction
