Joint Mobilization

What Is Joint Mobilization?

Joint mobilization is a hands-on manual therapy technique used to improve joint function and reduce stiffness. At Levan Physical Therapy, our licensed physical therapists use controlled, gentle movements to guide a stiff or restricted joint through its natural range of motion, helping relieve discomfort, improve mobility, and enhance overall physical performance.

Benefits of Joint Mobilization

Joint mobilization can help you:

Restore natural joint movement and flexibility

Reduce joint stiffness and discomfort

Improve strength and muscular coordination

What Conditions Can Joint Mobilization Help With?

Joint mobilization is beneficial for a wide range of musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions, including:

  • Arthritis and degenerative joint conditions

  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

  • Joint stiffness after surgery or injury

  • Neck and back pain

  • Shoulder impingement

  • Hip, knee, or ankle stiffness

  • Limited range of motion (ROM)

  • Postural imbalances and alignment issues
