Manual IL is a professional academy for practitioners, born from a deep synergy between two industry leaders: Eyal Feigin and Gevaon Peled. Our vision is simple yet ambitious—to elevate the clinical standards of therapists in Israel to the highest level, through scientific knowledge, advanced techniques, and precise clinical reasoning.
Manual IL was established to address a critical need in the field: professional practitioners seeking practical, precise, and science-based training that existing institutions failed to provide.
The synergy between Eyal Feigin, a specialist in Manual Therapy and pain management, and Gevaon Peled, the founder of the STB method and a senior lecturer, has created a unique platform.
This platform integrates vast clinical experience with high-level academic teaching and sharp, clinical reasoning. At our academy, we don’t just teach techniques—we teach a practitioner's mindset.
From Biomechanics and HVLA to Fascial Therapy, Movement Rehabilitation, and Advanced Clinical Practice, our curriculum covers everything from assessment methods to a deep understanding of pain patterns and compensations.
Every program is meticulously designed with an emphasis on true understanding, not just imitation.
Our mission is clear: to train a new generation of leading practitioners who can bridge the gap between science and touch, delivering treatment that is accurate, professional, and truly effective.
We operate with a steadfast commitment to excellence, credibility, and the highest professional responsibility.
