Device assisted manual manipulation technique. This is one of the most gentle manual therapy techniques. A handheld tool delivers a precise, reproducible force into a restricted joint to restore normal movement and function. People tend to call the device a “clicker” because of the noise it makes. Again an ideal technique for older patient or anyone who is opposed to manual manipulation.

This technique was created in Europe and brought the United State in 1996 with the introduction of the NMT certification. This type of therapy deals with not only the muscular system but also referral of pain via the nervous system (trigger points). By releasing key point the referral patterns will be decreased.
