“I had been dealing with lower back and sciatica pain for over a year. After just four sessions with Sefa Hoca, the pain was gone and I understood what had actually been causing it. Nothing like any physiotherapy I had tried before.”

Questions about
manual therapy.
What is manual therapy?
Manual therapy is an evidence-based physiotherapy method applied by hand. It encompasses joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, fascial manipulation and neural mobilisation to reduce pain, restore joint mobility and rebalance the musculoskeletal system.
Is manual therapy painful?
You may feel mild tension or pressure during the session; however, it should not be intolerable. Our physiotherapists always work within your comfort threshold. Most patients report significant relief and increased range of motion following treatment.
How many sessions are needed?
This varies with the individual condition, chronicity and treatment goals. Most programmes are completed within 4–8 sessions. A personalised plan is prepared after the initial comprehensive assessment.
Is manual therapy suitable for disc herniation?
Yes. Manual therapy — combined with NKT and chiropractic-based spinal mechanics — can be highly effective for lumbar and cervical disc herniation. We address both the structural cause and the neurological component of the condition.
