Types of Mobilization

About Mobilization

Mobilization is applied to stretch the soft tissues and or separate articular joints. Mobilization of joints promotes mobility, reduces edema and muscle spasm , increases proprioceptive reflexes, breaks up adhesions in fibrotic tissue and temporarily immobilizes or splints parts. The forces of mobilization have a profound effect on joint receptors and there response changes in joint position and tensile strength. The primary effects of mobilization are extra-capsular.
