Joint mobilization is a hands-on manual therapy technique where a physical therapist applies controlled forces to a joint to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve function. By gently moving the joint in specific directions and at measured speeds, this therapy targets joint stiffness, misalignment, and restricted mobility.
It is commonly used to address musculoskeletal issues such as arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, ankle sprains, and joint stiffness caused by injury or prolonged immobility.
Grades of Mobilization: Mobilizations are categorized into grades based on amplitude and speed, allowing precise tailoring for each patient’s needs.
