It is based on clinical concept, using highly specialized approach techniques, including manipulations & healing exercises.

Evaluation
Very careful evaluation is the basis for the right treatment.
Treatment
Restoring the normal movement of the joints, fascia, muscles, and nervous tissue.
Safety
Since the Manual Therapist is specialized, it is absolutely safe and effective.
The father of Manual Therapy in Europe is Hippocrates, who has many times pointed out in his speeches that it is necessary to have complete knowledge of the function of the spine, as many disorders start from it.
The protagonist of medical manipulations was JA. Mennell, an osteopathist who taught mainly physiotherapists. One of his students was Cyriax, who came up with a series of techniques, whose safety was based on a very good evaluation and control of the factors that could deliver the best results. Cyriax, together with Kaltenborn and Maitland, are considered the three pioneers in the field of Manual Therapy.
Kaltenborn applied techniques based on convex-concave principles, and again here, the very good evaluation is the basis for the right treatment. Generally, Manual Therapy applied by trained therapists is completely safe and effective.
