JOINT MOBILISATION

Manipulations and mobilisations are manual techniques used to physically affect a joint. If you are feeling joint pain or stiffness it may be that manipulations or mobilisations are the best course of treatment.

TECHNIQUES

There are a wide range of techniques that can be used to move a joint to increase its range of movement. Manipulations and mobilisations get the joint moving. This often takes place with the individual in a relaxed position. This allows me to move the joint within the desired range. This will achieve movement of the joint that would not be possible by the patient alone due to pain. The manipulation or mobilisation gets the joint moving which can:

  • Reduce stiffness

  • Reduce pain

  • Increase range of movement

  • Increase function

BENEFITS
