Joint mobilization
Manual therapy procedure focused on restoring joint mobility, relieving pain and eliminating functional limitations.
Joints can become less flexible over time due to various factors, such as aging, injuries, chronic diseases, or a lack of physical activity. This can cause pain, reduced mobility, and even disability.
Joint mobilization involves gentle pressure on the joint surfaces to enable smooth motion between them. Mobilization reduces intra-articular pressure, relaxes periarticular muscles and improves blood circulation in the affected area. Процедура подходит для пациентов с артрозами, контрактурами, дегенеративными заболеваниями позвоночника, а также для тех, кто восстанавливается после травм. The treatment is suitable for patients with osteoarthritis, contractures, degenerative spine diseases and those recovering from injuries.
Joint mobilization requires thorough diagnostics: Collecting medical history and clinical examination. X-ray, MRI or other imaging tests. Detecting contraindications. Prior to the procedure we recommend wearing loose clothing and avoiding heavy food.
The patient is positioned in a way that allows the doctor to reach the joint. The joint is moved back and forth in a certain way and with a certain force. This helps reduce pressure on the surfaces of the joint and makes them slide more easily. The procedure may cause a little discomfort, but it should not be very painful. Each session lasts 20 to 30 minutes.
Ergonomic massage table. Training aids and ergonomic cushions to support the joints in the correct position. Heat or cooling packs to prepare the tissues before the treatment.
After your procedure, you should not put too much weight on your joint for 1-2 days. It's important to do light exercises regularly as recommended by the doctor. This will help keep the joint healthy.
Painless and safe Soft impact eliminates joint traumatization. Integrated improvement Increased mobility, pain relief and normalized blood circulation. Suitable for all ages The method is adapted to each patient. Complications prevention Prevents contractures and the progression of joint disease.
