WHAT Is Joint Mobilization?
Joint mobilization is the careful use of skilled graded forces to move a joint in a desired direction. Unlike stretching of a muscle joint mobilization is specific to the capsule of the joint itself. Gliding of the joint is usually used to improve motion and normalize joint function. Joint mobilization also has the added benefit of controlling pain. Any joint that is lacking sufficient motion may be mobilized. Joint mobilization on the neck, upper, middle and lower back, and sacroiliac joints, as well as to all of the joints of the extremities such as the shoulder, jaw, wrist, hand, hip, knee, foot and ankle.

What Our Clients Say
Thank you ProPt for making me better and improving my way of life. Before starting physical therapy here at ProPt, I had been experiencing knee pain during activities I enjoyed doing, like running. I was very frustrated because I could not participate in the physical activities I love to do! But ProPt changed that Dr.Patt, Sue, and Amber all helped me get better to the point where I can now run and enjoy all the physical activity I loved. I am so grateful for the care I received from ProPT and the awesome staff! Thank you ProPt for making me better and improving my way of life. My right shoulder is now 100% functional! Another absolutely great experience with the dream team at Professional Physical Therapy. The team here at ProPT is amazing from the staff, assistants, PTA’s, PT’s and Dr. Patt! After shoulder surgery recovery on my dominant arm was tough, but with working with a professional pt I got through it! My right shoulder is now 100% functional! So happy, Especially in my profession of delivering babies and caring for women. I would recommend the team here at ProPT to anyone and everyone I already do. My mom will be coming in a week or 2!”
