Abstract

This study largely compared the general concept, examination, and treatment of various manual therapy techniques. These various manual therapy techniques, however, are still in the developing stage, so no one approach is yet perfect. Clinically, manual therapy techniques are widely being used to treat the dysfunctional neuromusculoskeletal with the common practice of mobilization, manipulation, exercise, and patient education. Anyone of the above approaches must not be selectively chosen as the best method. Manual therapists should treat patients in the clinic with the full knowledge of these proper manual therapy techniques depending on the patient's symptoms in each of the anatomical, biomechanical, and pathological views.
