Russian Manual Therapist Shows Effective Neck Pain Treatment

Manual Therapy Explained: A Step-by-Step Guide Manual therapy, a hands-on approach to treating musculoskeletal pain, is gaining popularity. This video from Russian manual therapist, Невролог Пешков, provides a clear demonstration of the technique. The video focuses on the cervical spine, illustrating the assessment of range of motion and the manipulation process. "Manual therapy works on tendons and joints," explains Dr. Peshov in the video. "It also causes a reflex relaxation of the surrounding musculature." The video clearly shows the therapist's gentle yet effective technique. The video also touches upon the phenomenon of cavitation, the audible 'crack' often associated with manual therapy. Dr. Peshov explains this as the collapse of gas bubbles. While the video is short, it provides a basic understanding of manual therapy and its benefits. Further research is encouraged for a more in-depth understanding of this treatment modality. The video's clear presentation makes it an excellent starting point for those curious about manual therapy.
