Mobilization Therapy is a manual (hands-on) therapy treatment meant to help decrease pain, improve range of motion (how far you can move a part of your body), and increase function.
A therapist generally performs this technique by stabilizing one segment of a joint. Applying manual pressure or traction to the nearby section. The applied force is usually directed in a plane of motion that is very tight, or hypomobile, in an effort to improve overall joint function.
Depending on the patient’s tolerance and the overall goals of the treatment, several different types of mobilizations may be used.
