Most of these treatment methods are based explicitly or implicitly on the presumption that some biomechanical malfunction or dysfunction causes either the SIJ or other tissues to provoke the pain of which the patient complains.

In fact, evidence suggests that decreasing musculoskeletal pain may be one of the most important roles for manual therapy. 1, 2 In several studies, manual therapy has been shown to be superior to traditional modalities in reducing pain, sometimes even in the absence of change to objective variables, such as range of motion. 3, 4 Accordingly, the authors believe it is important to consider manual therapy as a tool to reduce pain, and to pair it with rehabilitative strategies, such as. ical research, but also on clinical practice. Theory-driven, manual-based treatments have become a defining feature of evidence-based treat-ments for specific clinical disorders that have been evaluated in numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The advantages of manual-based treatment include well-documented efficacy, less reliance on intuitive. Abstract. Orthopaedic manual therapy (OMT) should be based not only on the best available evidence but also on patient values and clinician expertise. Low back pain (LBP) is a complex issue as the majority of people who suffer from LBP cannot be given a specific diagnosis based on imaging studies but kinematic analyses appear to be useful to determine dysfunctional patterns.
