What really happens when we use manual therapy?

Join Chad Cook, PT, PhD, at WCLBP 2026 as he takes a closer look at the mechanisms and effectiveness of manual therapies.

As part of the “Hands-on interventions and fasciae” session on Tuesday 3 November, Chad will explore what we know about how manual therapies work and what the evidence tells us about their effectiveness.
