Mobilisation & Manipulation

Physical fitness is a general state of health

Mobilisation and manipulation are key techniques in manual therapy used to enhance joint function, reduce pain, and improve overall mobility. Mobilisation involves the gentle, controlled movement of joints through their range of motion. This technique is used to restore normal movement patterns, reduce stiffness, and alleviate discomfort in affected areas. By gradually increasing the range and intensity of motion, mobilisation helps to enhance joint flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and improve circulation to the targeted areas.

Manipulation, on the other hand, involves a more forceful, high-velocity thrust applied to a joint. This technique is typically used to address joint misalignments or restrictions that may be causing pain or limiting movement. Manipulation can produce immediate improvements in joint mobility and pain relief by restoring proper alignment and function.

Both techniques are integral components of physical therapy and chiropractic care, ofte
