Joint mobilization
A manual therapeutic technique aimed at restoring joint mobility, relieving pain and eliminating functional limitations.
Human joints lose their flexibility over time due to age-related changes, injuries, chronic diseases or insufficient physical activity. This leads to pain, decreased range of motion, and even disability.
Articular mobilization involves a technique in which a specialist gently acts on the articular surfaces, improving their sliding relative to each other. Mobilization reduces intraarticular pressure, relaxes the periarticular muscles and improves blood circulation in the affected area. The procedure is suitable for patients with arthrosis, contractures, degenerative diseases of the spine, as well as for those recovering from injuries.
For successful joint mobilization, it is important to conduct a thorough diagnosis: Anamnesis collection and clinical examination. X-ray, MRI or other instrumental methods. Identification of contraindications. Before the session, it is recommended to avoid heavy food and wear loose clothes.
The patient is positioned in a position that provides access to the joint. The specialist performs rhythmic movements with a certain amplitude and force, aimed at reducing pressure on the articular surfaces, improving their sliding. The procedure may be accompanied by minimal discomfort, but should not cause acute pain. One session lasts 20-30 minutes.
Ergonomic massage table. Exercise equipment and ergonomic pillows to support joints in the right position. Thermal or cooling bags for the preparation of tissues before the procedure.
After the joint mobilization session, the patient is advised to avoid excessive loads on the joint for 1-2 days. Regular performance of light exercises recommended by a specialist will help maintain the effect.
