This Is Our Passion
Manual therapy, manipulation, soft tissue manipulation and joint manipulation are all terms used to describe a therapist performing hands on techniques to tissue to reduce pain and restore range of motion and function.
In recent years there has been controversy in its use by many therapists and large organisations such as the NHS are now virtually providing a ‘hands-off’ service. This has mainly been driven by lack of sound research evidence of its use as a single modality and fails to empower people to self-manage their condition.
Our RFS system is aimed at getting results, we therefore use a cluster of various modalities including hands-on treatment combined with rehabilitation, acupuncture, shockwave therapy etc.
Most research will investigate the effect of a single intervention to the body however there is very few research papers investigating the effect of combining techniques. The RFS method does exactly that and combines interventions to create better results.
The RFS method uses various treatment interventions but also various professionals to maximise the results we achieve.
For example, a patient with chronic low back pain could be treated with hands-on treatment combined with shockwave therapy and rehabilitation. At the same time, they may see a clinical psychologist to improve their mental wellbeing and a nutritionist to improve their diet resulting in a much bigger general effect on the person than if we were to just provide that person with a massage.
The RFS method focusses on the person not just the condition.
