Can manual therapists make patients worse without touching them?

The words we use, the findings we emphasise and the explanations we give can shape what patients believe about their body.

“Your spine is unstable.”
“Your pelvis keeps going out.”
“You need regular correction.”

These phrases may sound clinical, but they can also create fear, fragility and dependency.

Manual therapy can help build confidence, reassurance and symptom relief.

But the goal should always be to leave the patient less afraid, more capable and more independent.

Before explaining a finding, ask:

What will this patient believe about their body when they leave?

Based on Hohenschurz-Schmidt et al., Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 2022.

Thoracic extension matters.

A mobile thoracic spine can contribute to more efficient overhead movement, improved shoulder mechanics, better load distribution through the spine, and reduced compensatory movement at the cervical and lumbar regions.

For healthcare professionals, it’s about restoring movement options, improving tolerance to movement, and helping patients move with greater confidence.

Thoracic mobilisation, exercise, and targeted movement strategies can be valuable tools when combined with an evidence-informed rehabilitation approach.

Whether you’re working with athletes, desk-based workers, manual labourers, or persistent pain patients, thoracic mobility deserves attention.

Learn practical thoracic mobilisation techniques online or in the classroom with OMT Training.
