This cracking sound is literally a bubble (air) in the water (joint fluid). The cracking or otherwise intra-articular creaking is not a necessary component of a successful manual therapy session. On the contrary, it is the sound produced in the most aggressive techniques (high velocity thrust), which should be performed in the final stages of treatment, by experienced therapists and <strong>under certain conditions<\/strong>. In Biofeedback, such manipulations are performed when deemed necessary, but on the other hand, they are not necessarily performed in every treatment\/session if it is not useful.   <\/p>\n<p>Manual therapy mobilizes joints and tissues but in <strong>no way &#8220;puts&#8221; a bone or vertebra back into place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Manual therapy <strong>is not a magic technique-movement<\/strong> that magically solves all problems. It is a set of manipulations that facilitate the proper mobilization of a joint area, and a manual therapy session always includes active movement or exercise, even for reassessment purposes. <\/p>\n<p>Manual therapy is not a technique that anyone can practice. Precisely because it is quite interventional, it requires a well-trained and certified therapist with a deep knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and neurophysiology. Since it is fashionable for everyone to call themselves a <strong>manual therapist<\/strong> with a 2-day seminar, it is a good idea to ask for accreditation before leaving yourself in the hands of a physiotherapist.  <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_manual_therapy\"><\/span><strong>Advantages <\/strong>of <strong>manual <\/strong><strong>therapy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It can potentially be applied to literally all musculoskeletal problems and even in the <strong>acute stage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is a treatment that targets the cause and not the symptom, which is why recovery is usually <strong>complete <\/strong>and without relapses.<\/p>\n<p>It is a much <strong>shorter treatment<\/strong>.
