You can see a general physiotherapist for most pain and movement problems. In South Africa, you do not need a doctor's referral to visit a physiotherapist, though some medical aids may require one for reimbursement.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on approach to physiotherapy that uses joint mobilisation, manipulation, and soft tissue techniques to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and restore normal function. It is often combined with exercise-based rehabilitation.
Common conditions treated
- Joint stiffness and restricted movement
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Post-surgical stiffness
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders

Manual therapy may help if you have joint stiffness, restricted movement, or chronic pain that has not responded to exercise alone.
