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.
Joint mobilization can help you:
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

Joint mobilization is typically gentle and non-painful. You may feel slight pressure or stretching, but it is carefully controlled for your comfort.
Joint mobilization uses slower, more controlled movements compared to high-velocity manipulations often used in chiropractic care.
Many patients feel relief after just a few sessions, but lasting improvement often requires a full treatment plan tailored to your condition.
Absolutely. We often combine it with exercises, soft tissue work, and posture correction to support long-term recovery.
