Joints, formed by the articulating surfaces of two or more bones, depend on a combination of stability and mobility to help you function efficiently and comfortably.

Importantly, joints are supported by a wide variety of physiological structures including capsules, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and muscle fibers. When injured structures are injured, they can benefit from physiotherapy services, including joint mobilisation. This form of therapy has the potential to bring about significant improvements, offering you the opportunity to regain your mobility and comfort.

There are hundreds of joints in your body, which come in various types and sizes (such as a “hinge joint” in your elbow, a “ball and socket joint” in your hip, or a “saddle joint” in your thumb).

The specific type, magnitude, speed, and frequency of joint mobilisation performed are tailored to your unique needs. This individualised approach takes into account several factors, including the goal of treatment, the type of joint being targeted, and even your own unique anatomy. This ensures that you receive the most effective and personalised care.

Manual therapy/joint mobilisations have benefits that include:

- Pain reduction

- Improved range of motion

- Improved quality of joint movement.
