Joint mobilisation is a hands-on physiotherapy technique used to treat joint pain and improve mobility. The physiotherapist uses skilled, controlled movements and forces to mobilize joints, to increase their range of motion. This helps to stretch muscles and ligaments, stimulate synovial fluid production for joint lubrication, and encourage proper joint alignment. Different grades or intensities of joint mobilisation may be used, depending on the individual’s condition. The physiotherapist will also examine and treat the muscles around the joint being mobilised. When performed by a trained physiotherapist, joint mobilization is an effective way to reduce joint stiffness, alleviate pain, regain mobility, and improve overall joint function.

 It involves the skilled application of specific movements and techniques to joints and soft tissues to:

• Restore normal range of motion
• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Improve joint alignment and mechanics
• Break up adhesions and scar tissue

Our physiotherapists use different grades of joint mobilization based on your condition and goals.
