The three most well-known types of manual therapy are:

​

  1. The application of a strong force into a joint is known as manipulation (s). Cavitation, an audible popping sound, is frequently associated with manipulation.

  2. Mobilization is a slower, more controlled process of articular and soft-tissue stretching aimed at increasing joint mobility.

  3. Massage is the repeated rubbing, stripping, or kneading of muscle and fascia tissues to promote healing.
