At Dr. Aafreen Nizami Physiotherapy and Body Transformation Clinic, we offer Joint Mobilization as a key therapeutic technique to improve joint range of motion and alleviate stiffness. This manual therapy is particularly beneficial for managing conditions like frozen shoulder, joint restrictions, and osteoarthritis, helping you regain mobility and comfort.
Joint Mobilization involves the use of skilled manual techniques to gently move and manipulate the joints, aiming to restore optimal function and reduce discomfort. These techniques are performed by a trained physiotherapist who applies controlled movements to the affected joints, targeting areas of restriction and stiffness.
Technique: The therapy involves applying rhythmic, oscillatory movements or sustained stretches to the joint structures. These movements help to improve the joint’s range of motion by addressing restrictions in the surrounding tissues and improving joint lubrication.
Stiffness Reduction: Joint Mobilization is designed to alleviate stiffness in the joints, making it easier to move and perform daily activities. By increasing the mobility of the joint, patients often experience a reduction in pain and discomfort associated with stiffness.
Range of Motion Improvement: The primary goal of Joint Mobilization is to enhance the range of motion within the affected joints. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing limited movement due to conditions such as frozen shoulder, arthritis, or post-surgical restrictions.
Joint Mobilization is an effective treatment option for a range of conditions that impact joint function and mobility. Here’s how it helps with specific conditions:
Frozen Shoulder: Also known as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder can cause significant pain and restricted movement in the shoulder joint. Joint Mobilization techniques are used to gently stretch and mobilize the shoulder joint, improving range of motion and reducing discomfort.
Joint Restrictions: Whether due to injury, surgery, or prolonged immobility, joint restrictions can limit your ability to move freely. Joint Mobilization helps to address these restrictions by improving the movement of the joint and the surrounding soft tissues.
Osteoarthritis: This degenerative joint disease causes the cartilage within the joint to wear down, leading to pain and stiffness. Joint Mobilization can help alleviate some of
