Joint mobilisation is a gentle, controlled technique used to improve the range of movement in stiff or restricted joints. Manipulation involves a faster, precise movement applied to a joint to restore mobility and reduce discomfort.
These treatments help to reduce pain, improve joint function, and enhance overall movement. They are commonly used for conditions affecting the spine, shoulders, hips, knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles.
