徒手治療(Manual Therapy)係指物理治療師(Physical Therapist)利用手法進行非侵入性的治療，常見如整脊(Manipulation)、關節鬆動術(Joint Mobilization)、肌筋膜伸展(Myofascial Stretch)、神經鬆動術(Nerve Mobilization)、動作控制訓練(Motor Control Training)等。
但其實治療手法有效與否最重要的關鍵在於事前詳細的評估，治療師如偵探般的抽絲剝繭尋找疼痛問題的根源，才能有效率的解決問題，所以治療師的邏輯推理能力才是徒手治療的靈魂，各種技術只是治療的手段。
Manual therapy refers to the non-invasive treatment used by physical therapists, such as manipulation, joint mobilization, myofascial stretch, nerve mobilization and motor control training, etc. The most important keys to the effective treatment is the prior detailed assessment. The therapist can find the root that causes the pain like a detective, in order to solve the problems efficiently. Therefore, the logical reasoning ability of the therapist is the soul of manual therapy. All kinds of techniques are only the methods of treatment.
