Adjustments, specifically spinal adjustments is a technique that requires a thorough assessment and diagnosis, specifically and quickness. The modality is highly effective in alleviating joint pain and muscle pain when done with precision and with the correct delivery vector.
Spinal adjustment is a science and art at the same time and mastery of it requires practice and in depth training.
Depending on where the physiotherapist did their degree, they may or may not be introduced to performing spinal or extremity adjustments. Typically, exposure to this skill in the physiotherapy curriculum is short and further training is needed by the physiotherapist to develop the manual skills to perform these techniques.
