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
I was impressed with her professionalism, yet friendly approach, knowledge, and expertise in dealing with my condition. My introduction to your particular office was in response to a sciatica workshop and especially the initial evaluation appointment with Susan Koeller and was impressed with her professionalism, yet friendly approach, knowledge, and expertise in dealing with my condition. My sciatic nerve pain began in November – was a constant pain and now I’m back to normal! I know what to do to remain pain-free. I’m not sure how I injured my shoulder but I had been in pain for about two years. I saw an AD on Facebook for a Free Shoulder Pain Workshop at Professional Physical Therapy.
It was very informative and I decided to try therapy. From the beginning of the Free Discovery Visit, it helped. I was in less pain and learned what not to do along with exercises to improve my shoulder. In the end, I feel 95% better and now know what to do to remain pain-free.
