Vestibular Physiotherapy Clinic

At The Manual Therapy Clinic, our physiotherapists are trained in osteopathic techniques to take a holistic approach to treating patients.

 

By adopting an osteopathic point of view, they can use manual musculoskeletal (MSK; consisting of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments) manipulations to correct structural unbalances and aid with recovery.
