Background: Isolated manual therapy techniques (MT) have shown beneficial effects in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) but the effect of the combination of such techniques, together with the well-stablished splint therapy (ST) remains to be elucidated. In relation to PPT (algometry), Joint mobilization, also known as manipulation, refers to manual therapy techniques that are used to modulate pain and treat joint impairments that limit range of motion (ROM) by specifically addressing the altered mechanics of the joint. Comparison of Manual Therapy and Exercise Therapy in Osteoarthritis of the Hip: A Randomized Clinical Trial[2] HUGO et. al, Arthritis & Rheumatism (Arthritis Care & Research) Vol. 51, No. 5, October 15, 2004, pp 722 ² 729 109 hip OA patients, outpatient clinic of a large hospital. Treatment period: 5 weeks (9 sessions) Manual therapy, or manipulative therapy, is a physical treatment primarily used by physical therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists to treat musculoskeletal pain and disability; it mostly includes kneading and manipulation of muscles, joint mobilization and joint manipulation.

The theory behind Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy for the spine, is that patients with more or less diminished mobility between two individual vertebrae, with pain that can be provoked upon movement at the vertebral segment, can with specific manual treatment, become symptom‐free or have Many studies have evaluated the effect of manual techniques and therapeutic exercise in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain, with the aim of checking its usefulness for treatment of this clinical condition [8, 9]. Manual therapy PPT: 0.001: 0.265: 0.214: Therapeutic exercise PPT: 0.006: 0.082: 0.328: The realm of manual therapy includes diverse techniques such as chiropractic, osteopathy, physical therapy, massage therapy, and touch therapies, which have been developed for use in human beings Joint Mobilisation: A manual therapy technique comprising a continuum of skilled passive movements to the joint complex that are applied at varying speeds and amplitudes, that may include a small-amplitude/ high velocity therapeutic movement (manipulation) with the intent to restore optimal motion, function, and/ or to reduce pain.

Joint mobilization • Joint mobilization refers to manual therapy techniques that are used to • modulate pain and • treat joint dysfunctions • regain range of motion (ROM) • addressing the altered mechanics of the joint. The altered joint mechanics may be due to • pain • muscle guarding • joint effusion Manual therapy and eccentric exercise in the management of Achilles tendinopathy J Man Manip Ther. 2017 May;25(2):106-114. doi: 10.1080/10669817.2016.1183289.
