Interest in mannual therapy appears to continue to grow among physical therapists. The term ’’mannual therapy’’ has traditionally been associated with physical therapists who examine and treat Patients who have disorders related to the neuro-muscular-articular system.. The manipulative means skilled and specialised use of manual and/or mechanically applied movement techniques, as a part of comprehensive orthopaedic physical therapy for disorders of the moving parts of body. Physical therapists use a large variety of manually applied examination procedures as part of the clincal decision-making process. The purpose of this article is to define and clarify the basic concepts of mannual therapy by comparing the geneal concepts and evaluation schemes of James Cyriax, John McM. Mennell, Geoffrey Maitland, Freddy Kaltenborn, Robin McKenzie, and Ola Grimsby. This article stresses the importance of developing stills in evaluation. Gimsby’’s approch is presented as a example of modem mannual therapy.
