This presentation provides a comprehensive, evidence based overview of the current scientific understanding of manual therapy (MT), organized around three core questions: Does it work? How does it work? For whom does it work?

Dyspareunia, defined as pain occurring before, during, or after sexual intercourse, negatively affects women's physical, sexual, and mental health. Approximately 40% of women experience some form of sexual dysfunction, with prevalence increasing with age [+]

Loss of muscle strength is a prevalent and clinically relevant functional impairment in people with cancer, associated with sarcopenia and early functional limitations. Current evidence identifies muscle strength (handgrip and lower-limb strength) as an independent predictor of mortality, treatment tolerance, and quality of life [+]

Sarcopenia is a musculoskeletal disease characterized by loss of strength and muscle mass, being associated with aging as a predictor of adverse effects such as falls and frailty. Since the initial definition of the disease, its diagnosis has been evolving, with increasing impact on clinical and physical performance variables [+]

Chronic low back pain causes disability and socioeconomic impact. High-intensity exercise shows positive results in other diseases, but there is no evidence on this pathology. The aim is to determine its efficacy on health-related quality of life, disability, pain intensity and adherence to treatment in people with chronic low back pain [+]

It is suggested that stretching of the masticatory muscles may contribute to increased flexibility of the hamstring muscles, leading to greater trunk flexion, and vice versa. The functional relationship between the masticatory and hamstring muscles has been studied, and while it is acknowledged in clinical practice, it lacks a solid scientific foundation [+]
