Explore expert manual therapy for pain, posture, and mobility. Personalised treatment for knee, back, and sports injuries in Subang Jaya.

At Regenesis Physiotherapy in Subang Jaya, we offer manual therapy as a core part of our treatment plans. This hands-on approach helps address pain at the source by improving joint mobility, releasing tight muscles, and restoring proper movement patterns.

What Is Manual Therapy?

Manual therapy is a specialised form of physiotherapy where trained hands do the work, not machines. It involves gentle, targeted movements applied to your muscles, joints, or connective tissues to improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore balance.

Unlike machines or general stretching routines, manual therapy uses skilled touch to assess and correct soft tissue and joint issues. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic back or knee pain, this technique is designed to get you moving better, without relying on medication or invasive treatments.

How Does Manual Therapy Work?

Manual therapy is especially effective for patients who have limited range of motion or experience recurring pain despite rest. At Regenesis, it’s often combined with other treatments like stretching, strengthening, and electrotherapy for better results.

What Does Manual Therapy Help With?

Our Manual Therapy Techniques

Targeted Joint Mobilisation

Gentle oscillations or gliding movements are applied to stiff joints, especially the spine, knees, or shoulders to reduce pain and restore movement without forceful cracking or manipulation. It’s especially helpful after injury or prolonged immobility.

How can Manual Therapy help you relieve restrictions and tensions in body?

Soft Tissue Release & Myofascial

Tight fascia (connective tissue) can restrict movement and create tension across the body. Through slow, sustained pressure, our therapists help release fascial adhesions, muscle knots, and trigger points that often cause pain and reduced flexibility.

Mulligan method of manual therapy is effective for conditions like tennis elbow and mechanical joint pain. Find out how.

Mulligan Concept of Manual Therapy

This method combines therapist-applied movement with patient participation to reposition joints during motion to eliminate pain and restore normal function, especially for joints like the elbow, shoulder, and knee. It’s effective for conditions like tennis elbow and mechanical joint pain.

Manual Muscle Testing and Functional Assessment

Before we treat, we test. Manual muscle testing helps us understand where weakness, compensation, or imbalance exists. From there, we plan which manual therapy techniques will best correct the issue, and follow up with tailored strengthening work.

Very friendly staff and definitely look for Dr. Chia. Had a case of inflamed tendon on my ankle and thought it would take at least half a year for full recovery. Dr. Chia had it fixed in about a month and half and I would highly vouch for her expertise. Dr. Chia is very sociable therefore making the whole treatment process very enjoyable and less frightening.

Being pain-free is really priceless, especially if it’s affecting the nerve, every min every day, 24x7!I was diagnosed with severe cervical spondylosis - neck bone degeneration esp at c5-c7 with bone spur causing very bad nerve pain at my back shoulder blade and right arm , literally 24x7 since Aug 2024. It really affected my day to day life. A well-known specialist surgeon insisted for immediate surgery but with no guarantee that all will be well. However, I opted for physio, as per another Dr’s recommendation. Unexpectedly came across Regenesis via internet good reviews.That was the best decision I made! Wayne was very patient, knowledgeable, explained to me on every process he did, constantly reminding me on the required exercises and the dos & don’ts. Due to my severe issue, I had visited Regenesis daily for the first 2 weeks & 2 days once later, diligently. After 5.5 mths, the pain subsided ..the visits were then changed to twice weekly just to make sure all in order, till today!Wayne from Regenesis comes highly recommended! This is a sincere and honest testimonial based on my real experience!

Excellent physiotherapy clinic for treating sports injuries. Ms. Chia was highly professional and effectively resolved my wrist and knee issues in fewer than five sessions. She also provided practical home exercises and workouts that helped accelerate my recovery. I highly recommend seeking out Ms. Chia for anyone in need of quality physiotherapy care

Ms Chia is very detail and experience when analysing my shoulder injury (more than 10 years). The road to recovery is a journey but at least the shoulder pain has reduced a lot after the treatment though I still need to do more weight training to strengthen the muscles. Highly recommend this centre especially if you have old injury that has been bothering you.

My cases is L1 fracture,and my first physiotherapy experience after my surgery was excellent, thanks to Dr. Wayne! He was well-mannered, professional, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. He took the time to listen, explain the treatment plan clearly, and ensure I was comfortable every step of the way. His expertise and genuine care made a real difference. Highly recommended!

It has a great experience and I have been there for 12 treatments for a lower back pain. The pain I have suffered all this years is now somewhat lessened after each treatment. In fact after my last treatment, it has improved tremendously. I am unable to continue my treatments as I have been asked by my employer to be relocated overseas for a one year assignment. Upon return if I need their assistance again, I will surely look for them once again.Thank you Regenesis for helping me out. I truly value and appreciate the help and care rendered.

I did a walk-in one evening after spraining my ankle, not wanting to risk it getting worse - especially knowing how notoriously chronic sprain injuries can get if left alone. Given the simplicity of the injury, I expected nothing more than a severity assessment and some home care advice.Instead, Wayne very quickly knew the effective treatment to apply - a combination of massages and dry needling that provided immediate relief. Every technique felt very precise and intentional, which was clearly backed by deep expertise and knowledge. I still received the expected care advice, but I also walked out of the clinic losing the limp that I walked in with.By the next day, my ankle felt almost back to normal SURPRISINGLY - when otherwise, I’m sure it would have continued hurting for days. I know exactly who to thank for this. Don't worry Wayne, I'll still take it easy for the next two weeks at least haha.

Fabulous physiotherapists in Regenesis, I love coming here for treatments and looking forward to a chill chat while in the treatment. Always prompt and easy to book and service top notch! They’ve also open early and evening which is a plus point. Parking is easy and after treatment, lots of food to eat. Just book it, you won’t regret it.

How We Work

01

Initial Assessment

Your first session begins with a thorough one-on-one assessment. We look at your movement, posture, joint mobility, and pain points to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.

02

Customised Therapy Plan

Based on your assessment, we’ll develop a tailored manual therapy plan using specific techniques. Based on your case and feedback, the program will match your pace and priorities.

03

Improvement

Most patients feel relief within the first few sessions — less tension, better mobility, and improved function. Our goal is long-term change, not temporary fixes, so we guide your progress with regular reviews and adjust your plan as you improve.

FAQ on Manual Therapy

Frequently Asked Questions

Manual therapy is generally well-tolerated. Some techniques may produce mild discomfort, especially when targeting tight or sensitive tissues, but pain is not the goal. Therapists at Regenesis adjust pressure and technique based on patient tolerance to ensure both safety and effectiveness.

Many patients report an improvement in mobility and a reduction in discomfort after just one to three sessions. However, outcomes depend on the severity and chronicity of the condition, overall health status, and adherence to complementary treatment recommendations.

No referral is necessary. Patients may book directly with Regenesis Physiotherapy. However, for complex cases or those involving post-surgical care, collaboration with referring physicians may be advised to ensure continuity of care.

Yes. Manual therapy can be adapted for older adults and post-surgical patients. Techniques are modified to accommodate fragile tissues, joint limitations, and medical considerations. The goal remains consistent: to restore function, manage pain, and support safe mobility.

Manual therapy, as practiced by physiotherapists, emphasises soft tissue mobilisation, graded joint mobilisations, and movement retraining. Chiropractic care often centres around high-velocity spinal adjustments. While both disciplines address musculoskeletal dysfunction, their techniques, theoretical foundations, and scopes of practice differ.
