Manual therapy combined with physical therapy

Physical therapy is combined with manual therapy to support tissue regeneration and circulation and to reduce inflammation. The therapist always chooses the method to suit your complaint: at the clinic, TENS, ultrasound therapy, cupping, kinesiology taping and flossing are available.

Manual therapy combined with physiotherapy

The two treatments build on each other. Manual therapy can open a window for learning healthy movement, and physiotherapy builds the change into the way you move. Here too we start with your history and the necessary examination, then draw up your personal treatment plan.

At level 1 of the MozgásPiramis®, the clinic recommends roughly equal parts manual therapy and physiotherapy: 12 sessions, twice a week.

Physical therapy tools used in combined treatment

Electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation: a muscle and nerve stimulator that reduces the sensation of pain. The device has several programmes, and even sensitive patients usually tolerate it well.

Ultrasound therapy

The vibrations of the ultrasound head support tissue regeneration and circulation, and relax the tissues. The treatment is painless.

Kinesiology taping

A special tape that supports weakened muscles, increases range of motion and improves circulation.

Cupping and flossing

Vacuum and compression techniques that target stiff muscles and improve circulation in the tissue.

Who is it for?

  • People who need a lasting result, not just pain relief.
  • When manual therapy and physiotherapy are both indicated, for example for spinal and lower back problems.
  • Patients following the 12-session programme at level 1 of the MozgásPiramis®.

Frequently asked questions

How much does combined treatment cost?

Both combinations last 50 minutes and cost 24,990 HUF each. The Spine Therapy pass covers 12 sessions for 265,000 HUF and is valid for 3 months.

How do I know which combination I need?

Your therapist recommends it at the first consultation, based on the assessment. You will get full information about combined treatment there.

Does physical therapy hurt?

Most patients find the treatments pleasant. With TENS you feel a slight tingling, which is not usually a problem even for sensitive people.

Are there side effects?

The treatment usually has no side effects. We do not treat tattooed skin or moles, and with high blood pressure we take extra care around the neck.

Can I book physical therapy without manual therapy?

At the Újlipótváros clinic, physical therapy is part of the 50-minute combined session with manual therapy. A standalone physical therapy session cannot be booked online.
