Robert Daul, MPT wrote an article for Spine-Health.com titled Manual Physical Therapy for Pain Relief in which he defines manual therapy as “a specialized form of physical therapy delivered with the hands as opposed to a devide or machine.” He further states, “in manual therapy, practitioners use their hands to put pressure on muscle tissue and manipulate joints in an attempt to decrease back pain caused by muscle spasm, muscle tension, and joint dysfunction.”

In another article written by Robert Daul, MPT, called Specific Manual Therapy Techniques, he states that manual therapy can help with soft tissue mobilization, strain-counter strain, joint mobilization, muscle energy techniques, high velocity and low amplitude thrusting, and maintaining long-term back pain relief.
