Joint Mobilization in Buffalo
Improving joint range of motion with physical therapy
Joint pain is a common ailment, especially as we age or if we have some type of injury. Joint mobilization is a special technique used by physical therapists here at BC + PT to help eliminate pain and improve the mechanics of the joint.
The physical therapist manually applies targeted pressure to the joints in specific directions. The intensity of this particular therapy is guided by the feedback of the patient. Joint mobilization has proven to be beneficial to anyone with joint stiffness. If your BC + PT physical therapist decides that joint mobilization is a good option for your treatment plan, they will be more than happy to answer any questions and walk you through all the steps of your treatment.
