Joint Mobilization
Graded, controlled movement applied directly to a restricted joint to restore its normal glide and reduce the pain that comes with guarding.
Joints move in more directions than most people realise. When one of those directions is lost, the others overwork and start to complain.
Conditions we treat with this
Hip and Knee Pain
Hips and knees share the load of everything you do standing up. When one stops pulling its weight, the other usually pays for it.
Arthritis
Arthritis is not a reason to stop moving. Correctly loaded joints hurt less than protected ones, and the research on this is not ambiguous.
Headaches
A large proportion of recurring headaches originate in the neck, which means they respond to treatment aimed at the neck rather than the head.
Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
Injuries from a collision often feel worse two days later than they did at the scene. Early, appropriate treatment shortens the whole recovery.
Post-Surgical Rehab
Surgery repairs a structure. Rehabilitation is what turns that repair into a working shoulder, knee or back you can actually rely on.
