Service of the day: Manipulation or Joint Mobilization Joint - TopicsExpress



          

Service of the day: Manipulation or Joint Mobilization Joint mobilization occurs when your physical therapist passively moves the joints of your body in specific directions. This can help to decrease pain and improve mobility. While we often think of our joints moving as hinges, there is a gliding motion that also occurs between the joints of the body. This gliding motion is increased during joint mobilizations. The degree to which your therapist moves each joint depends upon the amount of pressure and the direction of force applied to the joint.
