Best Answer

Manual manipulation is another way of describing spinal manipulation or adjustments as provided by chiropractors and sometimes by medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy and physiotherapists. Manual manipulation is one possible component/form of manual therapy. Manual therapy can also consist of manual mobilizations, stretching, exercises, soft tissue therapy (myofacial release, massage, trigger-point, etc.), modalities (ultrasound, electrotherapy, laser, etc.).

Thus, manual manipulation is one component of manual therapy, manual therapy is a term used to describe all types of manual treatments.
