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
The fact that all the staff are so encouraging even when I don’t see my progress is so important. The fact that ALL the staff know me and are there to help me in a heartbeat is so important. It shows they all care. They are fun to be with and really know their stuff. They are always polite and seem to always find the time to answer all my questions. Dr. Ross has been instrumental in my healing process and I would recommend her and the facility to anyone looking for physical therapy. After having knee surgery, Dr. Patt and his team did an awesome job taking care of me as they helped me go from not being able to move, bend or use my knee to getting full motion. Along with getting great care, I feel like I’m spending the hour with my friends. Since this is my 5th (I think) time, I’m sure I’ll be back with another her body part for you to fix.
