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
So happy with my experience at Professional Physical Therapy. Nice, friendly and knowledgeable staff from the front desk to the gym! One of the best physical therapy experiences that I have ever had! I have been to a lot of PT facilities in my time, but this is the best by far! Offer a variety of treatments and tailor towards YOUR personal needs. This is my first time ever having physical therapy and it has been a wonderful experience. Dr. Ross and Alex have been my primary therapists and they are wonderful but everyone in the group is amazing from the front desk on. They made me so comfortable and relaxed.
I highly recommend this group for all your physical therapy needs.
