Joint Manipulation / Mobilization

Joint manipulation and mobilization are manual therapy techniques during which a clinician passively moves a joint through a small amplitude to reduce pain, increase range of motion and decrease stiffness. Joint manipulation/mobilization is not to be confused with stretching. Generally, stretching seeks to maximize muscle length while joint mobilization seeks to create movement within the joint itself. The localized movement elicited within a joint during a manipulation/mobilization technique can facilitate more generalized, macro-level movement. Sometimes joint mobilizations are performed concurrently with larger movement patterns. Healthy joints have a certain “play” or springiness to them. As part of our assessment at Resilient, we evaluate gross movement patterns and localized joint function. When indicated, we utilize joint-centric techniques to restore function and improve performance.
