Manual therapy
Manual therapy is a method of physiotherapy that is used for various diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Manual therapy can also be an effective treatment option for children and adolescents with disabilities.
The aim of manual therapy is to improve the mobility of joints and muscles and relieve pain through targeted hand movements. The therapy is based on individual diagnosis and treatment and takes into account both physical and psychological factors.
Manual therapy can be used for children and adolescents with disabilities, for example in cases of scoliosis, spasticity, developmental disorders or neurological diseases. Targeted manual techniques can improve mobility and reduce muscular tension. In this way, the therapy can help to make everyday activities such as walking, reaching or sitting easier.
Manual therapy for children and young people with disabilities often involves the use of special techniques such as Vojta therapy or Bobath therapy, which are tailored to the individual needs of the patient. The therapist works closely with the child and their parents to jointly develop and achieve an individual therapy goal.
Overall, manual therapy for children and adolescents with disabilities can be an important part of holistic therapy and help to improve the patient's mobility and quality of life.
