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
After finding myself in constant pain and limited mobility due to old injuries and chronic psoriatic arthritis I had just about given up on any chance of being comfortable again. My primary care doctor suggested I try some PT to”get moving again”. My son had been to Professional PT a couple of years ago for a sports related injury and had great success so I made the appointment figuring what have I got to lose. Well as it turns out, that was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. The team developed a plan for me that was easy to follow and I started seeing results almost instantly. I particularly liked how I saw a different therapist at each visit because each of them had their own unique approach but at the same time pretty much picked up where the last one left off. I “graduated” yesterday feeling better than I have in a very long time. Thank you to Dr. Patt and all of his amazing staff.
