Manual therapy according to Maitland

The Maitland concept is part of manual therapy, a special form of physiotherapy.

This form of therapy is primarily concerned with the targeted examination and treatment of pain and problems in the musculoskeletal system.

As the name manual therapy suggests, the therapy is carried out with the hands, so a problem can be mobilized and treated in a very locally differentiated manner.

Movement restrictions and pain can be positively influenced in this way.

  • whiplash

  • Disorders of the autonomic nervous system and hormone balance
