What is sports manual therapy?
Josef’s own method for sport: the joint mobilized by hand, pain-free, while the athlete moves. Refined over fifteen years, simple to state and hard to master. Built for athletes, in the loaded positions where they get hurt.
01
Find what the protocol missed.
The restriction standard rehab walks past. Assessed by hand, in motion, not on a table.
02
Mobilize, pain-free, in motion.
A precise glide held on the joint while the patient performs the movement that used to hurt.
03
Range returns in the room.
Often weight-bearing, often within minutes, then loaded the same session to consolidate the gain.
04
The clinician leaves able to repeat it.
The point is not one treatment. It is a method a professional can carry into their own practice.

The practitioner
Josef Andersen.
Josef Andersen has spent fifteen years on the athletes that clubs had given up on. A Master of Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy from the University of South Australia, he is one of roughly fifty internationally accredited teachers of the method, and built sports manual therapy, his own sport-specific approach, on that foundation. He has taught it to clinicians across more than ten countries.
He treats at the highest level and teaches sports manual therapy to the professionals who want to do the same. His clinical work, filmed case by case, is the source of everything he teaches.
