WHAT Is Joint Mobilization?
Joint mobilization is the careful use of skilled graded forces to move a joint in a desired direction. Unlike stretching of a muscle joint mobilization is specific to the capsule of the joint itself. Gliding of the joint is usually used to improve motion and normalize joint function. Joint mobilization also has the added benefit of controlling pain. Any joint that is lacking sufficient motion may be mobilized. Joint mobilization on the neck, upper, middle and lower back, and sacroiliac joints, as well as to all of the joints of the extremities such as the shoulder, jaw, wrist, hand, hip, knee, foot and ankle.

What Our Clients Say
Staff is awesome! From the front desk to all the therapists. They truly care about you and your recovery. Very helpful and well informed. The entire staff is great! Due to a complicated knee issue I have been a patient off and on for many years. This is the only place I will do Physical Therapy. The front desk staff works with you to find appointment times that work best for you, and handles any insurance or referral questions or concerns. They always greet you a smile and kind words. When I had a particularly tough day they were always encouraging. The therapists and aides are all top notch. While PT can be difficult, this team works closely with you, pushing you to your limits to reach the best possible outcomes. It is a very comfortable and friendly setting. To me they have become like part of my family! I highly recommend Professional Physical Therapy.
