Unlocking Your Movement: How Joint Mobilization Helps
Ever feel stiffness or tightness in your joints? Joint mobilization can help! It's a gentle technique where a therapist uses their hands to carefully move your joints through a specific range of motion.
Benefits of Joint Mobilization:
-
Improved Flexibility: Feel looser and move with more ease.
-
Reduced Pain: Gentle movements can help alleviate joint discomfort.
-
Increased Range of Motion: Move further and feel less restricted.
-
Better Overall Movement: Improved joint mobility can enhance your daily activities.
How it Works:
Think of your joints like hinges. Joint mobilization helps gently "open" these hinges, improving their gliding and movement. This can be especially helpful for the spine (known as spinal mobilization) to address stiffness and discomfort.
