Manual therapy focuses on the examination and treatment of complaints affecting the spine and joints in the arms and legs. It is a highly suitable treatment method for complaints that, in addition to pain, are accompanied by reduced movement of one or more joints.
At Smith Physiotherapy, based on a comprehensive intake, you receive a personalised treatment plan for faster and lasting recovery.
Always an appointment within 24 hours!
At Smith Physiotherapy, we don’t believe in standard exercise programmes. That’s why we always start with a personal analysis of your complaint. Based on that, we create a tailored treatment plan combining hands-on techniques (such as manual therapy, dry needling or deep tissue massage) with targeted exercises.
This way, we address not only your symptoms, but also the root cause. For faster and lasting recovery.
Our unique approach combines traditional physiotherapy with modern techniques such as dry needling

At Smith Physiotherapy, you're always helped quickly. In many cases, you can come in the same day
The manual therapist focuses particularly on complaints affecting the spine and joints in the arms and legs. Manual therapy takes a broad view of how patients function and considers not only physical properties and functions, but also other factors that limit the patient. Based on a health profile, a treatment plan is drawn up.
Specific manual techniques are used to diagnose and treat disorders in joint function. The aim of these treatments is to improve joint mobility, so that joint function is restored and posture and body movement improve.
A major advantage of manual therapy is that you experience less pain and improved mobility immediately after treatment. This is due to the specific manual techniques that create additional movement freedom quickly and efficiently. These techniques are also known as manipulations or joint mobilisations.
You can see our manual therapist if you suffer from one or more of the following complaints:
• Headaches, neck and shoulder pain with radiation to the arms
• Upper back complaints with rib and chest pain
• Hip osteoarthritis
• Lower back pain, possibly with radiation to the legs
• Certain forms of dizziness triggered by neck movement
• Jaw complaints, possibly combined with neck pain
