What are Mobilisation techniques?
Joint mobilisation is a technique physiotherapists use to restore the small, involuntary movements that assist joints to perform to their optimum. Joint mobilisation involves performing a back and forth oscillation of the joint in order to restore motion.
What are joint mobilization techniques?
Exercises that are considered joint mobilization are flexion, extension, tibia femoral glide, patella motion, long axis distraction and other motions like lateral movement and rotation. When executed properly, these exercises can greatly help in reducing pain and in restoring joint play.
What are the types of mobilization?
Here are examples of mobilisations of joints of the body:
- Elbow Mobilizations.
- Wrist/Hand Mobilizations.
- Hip Mobilizations.
- Knee Mobilizations.
- Ankle and Foot Mobilisations.
- Spinal_Manipulation.
- Shoulder Mobilizations and Manipulation.
- Cervicothoracic Manipulation.
What are Electrotherapies?
Electrotherapy is the application of an electric current to the affected area of the body to accelerate healing and reduce swelling and pain. Electrotherapy is used by our experienced physiotherapists at Physio.co.uk to treat a variety of conditions.
What is a Grade 5 mobilization?
In physical therapy, it refers to applying mobilizations to joints at varying degrees of needed intensity. Grade 5, known as manipulation, is when a joint is positioned near its end range of motion during the manual therapy technique with high velocity and low amplitude force application.
What is neural mobilization?
Neural mobilization, or neurodynamics, is a movement-based intervention aimed at restoring the homeostasis in and around the nervous system. Neural mobilization facilitates movement between neural structures and their surroundings through manual techniques or exercise.
What is passive joint mobilization?
Joint mobilization is a manual therapy intervention, a type of straight-lined, passive movement of a skeletal joint that addresses arthrokinematic joint motion (joint gliding) rather than osteokinematic joint motion. It is usually aimed at a ‘target’ synovial joint with the aim of achieving a therapeutic effect.
