Mobilization improves motion, reduces pain, and normalizes joint function with hands-on manual therapy. The physical therapist first identifies and localizes the joint in need of mobilization, and then places the patient in a comfortable position and carefully applies needed force in the appropriate direction to address the issue. This technique can be used on the neck, upper, middle and lower back, as well as to shoulders, wrists, hands, hips, knees, feet and ankles.
