Episode 7: The Manual Therapy debate: Should athletes & patients still get hands on treatment?

Welcome to Episode 7, where we discuss potentially the most polarising debate in the therapy world over the last decade. Traditionally, manual therapy has formed a staple part of many therapists treatment approaches.
