and theoretical models that support developments in diagnostics and interventions.
Papers published in Manual Therapy are of international

disorders; exploration of relevant clinical interventions; multi modal approaches; psychosocial issues; and service user expectations,
experiences and perspectives.
Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research articles are welcomed as well as systematic
