Joint Mobilization

Joint mobilization is a manual therapy technique used by physiotherapists to gently move a joint in specific directions to improve its motion and reduce pain. It is commonly used for stiff, painful, or restricted joints caused by injury, inflammation, or prolonged immobility. The technique is performed in a controlled manner to restore normal joint function.
