PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT: JOINT MOBILISATIONS
Joint mobilisation refers to a technique of manual therapy by which a therapist applies a brief stretch of 30s or less through traction and gliding along a joint surface.
Joint mobilisations can be applied to the spinal joints and also the peripheral joints. Mobilisations are used by physiotherapists to increase joint range of movement, increase proprioceptive awareness, decrease pain and reduce muscle spasm.
