Joint Mobilisation

Joint mobilisations are used to restore the small, involuntary movements that assist joints to perform to their optimum and reduce pain. Depending on the injury, pain and problem they can be performed at different speeds and force. Manipulation is a passive technique where the Physiotherapist applies a specifically directed manual thrust, to the spine, this is often accompanied by an audible ‘crack’. Both techniques help increasing movement around the spine and reducing pain. This treatment is very effective in treating spinal pain and injuries.
