Joint Mobilization for Improved Mobility & Function
Joint mobilization is a skilled hands-on physiotherapy technique used to improve joint movement, reduce stiffness, and support overall functional mobility. Neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, and spinal cord injury can lead to decreased movement, altered muscle tone, and joint restrictions that may affect comfort and daily activities. Through a thorough assessment, the physiotherapist applies gentle, controlled movements to specific joints to help restore mobility, improve range of motion, and enhance movement quality. When incorporated into a comprehensive neurological rehabilitation program, joint mobilization can help prepare the body for exercise, facilitate more efficient movement patterns, and support greater participation in everyday activities.
