Introduction
Manual therapy techniques are the most commonly used techniques among physiotherapists in clinical practice, being one of the most important presentation methods for its application of knowledge as well as an increase in the scientific rigor of its application.
The use of manual therapy for the purpose of diagnosis in Physiotherapy and also to address the treatment of a pathology or harmful process is becoming increasingly more relevant for professionals in Physiotherapeuty for the benefits it has in the overall health that is provided to patients .
In manual therapy, we can find the direct techniques or more structurally oriented techniques for joint mobilization and are the most commonly used in clinical practice as well as are part of the training in the degree of Physiotherapy. On the other hand, we also find indirect techniques or more functional techniques which seek to restore the function of structure or anatomic region mainly with independent movement. That's why this subject is taught. It allows students to comprehensively address both structural and functional techniques applied in musculoskeletal system.

Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
This subject will be assessed by conducting a continuous assessment (30%) and a final exam (Practical exam 50% and Teorical exam 20%). It's imperative to approve the three sections to overcome the subject.
Attendance Regulations
The subjects included in the Degree in Physiotherapy present theoretical and practical content with the main objectives being the acquisition and development of procedures and technical skills directly related to the practical exercise of the profession. This determines the structure of these classes, in small groups with direct and continuous supervision of the teacher. Thus, attendance to seminars is considered essential and necessary to ensure the acquisition of these skills. Based on the above, absences can only be excused due to major causes and in all circumstances, if they exceed 20% of the training load, the students will be obliged to re-enroll in this subject in the next academic year, without the discussion of the possibility of a resit.The consequences derived from non-compliance with this regulation can have very negative effects directly related to the registration process (overlapping and / or academic incompatibilities), as well as the corresponding expectations in the completion of the Degree.
