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
This was my first time ever needing PT. I had a pinched nerve in my knee causing pain when I tried to kneel on the floor with my new baby. During my initial intake, Dr. Ross listened to me and assessed what was going on so quickly and we made a plan together. Over the past few months, Dr. Ross and I worked together to get my knee feeling better. Not only is she extremely friendly and thoughtful, it’s obvious she knows exactly what she’s doing! I should also mention that the office is very organized with appointments and billing!
