Joint Mobilization: Unlocking Movement for Lasting Relief

JOINT MOBILIZATION

Introduction

  • Joint mobilization is an expert, practical method. It enhances joint motion with soft, passive motions. Physiotherapists use tiny rhythms to guide the joint. As a result, stiffness is lessened and natural glide is restored.
  • In order to ensure a safe and efficient rehabilitation, we at Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre customize joint mobilization for each patient’s needs.

Causes of Joint Movement Restriction

  • Injury or trauma to the joint
  • Post-surgical stiffness
  • Arthritis or cartilage degeneration
  • Capsular tightness
  • Immobilization after fracture
  • Muscle guarding due to pain

Types or Classification of Joint Mobilization

  • Grade I: Small oscillations to reduce pain
  • Grade II: Larger oscillations for pain relief
  • Grade III: Deep stretches to improve mobility
  • Grade IV: Small, high-velocity stretches to gain motion

Clinical Features / Signs & Symptoms

  • Pain at rest or movement
