What is the process? If a manipulation is appropriate your physiotherapist will discuss with your the procedure and go through any testing to ensure it is undertaken in a safe and effective manner.
Who performs a manipulation? While undergraduate training teaches physiotherapists manipulation Bay Physiotherapy also has physiotherapists with post graduate qualifications in Manipulative Physiotherapy.
What is the cost? In most circumstances the cost can be covered through ACC or under your normal visit costs.
