Joint Mobilisations & Manual Therapy

Joint mobilisation is a physical therapy technique meant to improve or normalise joint function. It can help decrease pain and improve the range of motion. The amount and type of force applied to the joint vary, depending on the injury or musculoskeletal pain that is being treated.

Joint mobilisation is not for everyone. It should be avoided in people with osteoarthritis and other inflammatory joint conditions, spinal disk issues, and circulation problems. There are alternative therapies, such as tissue massage, that may be more helpful.
