Abstract
Orthopedic manual therapy is involved with treatable joint and bone disorders, i.e. dysfunctions characterized by blocking. Its scope encompasses all diagnostic, preventive, and treatment techniques involving the spine, the limbs, and all other joints.The purpose of this article is to discuss the principles and course of treatment in manual therapy, understood as particular strategies of procedure. This includes the techniques of therapeutic procedure within the framework of three periods: Period I, which involves procedures prior to mobilization or manipulation, in order to create the best possible conditions for this operation; Period II, which pertains to the actual operation (techniques) of removing the block; and Period III, which includes procedures subsequent to manipulation, both immediately after the operation and in a later period of time. The article discusses in detail the proper tasks for each of these periods. Contraindications for manual therapy are also listed.
