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 came here after surgery for a massive rotator cuff tear. VERY painful. The surgeon said the injury was in the very worst category and I had to be very careful or I could re-injure the shoulder He made me wait over a month to start therapy. Needless to say, I was nervous about starting therapy at all, for fear they might make things worse. I was pleasantly surprised at the concern and care by everyone and Walter seemed to have a clear understanding of the surgery and how important it was to start the recovery process slowly. I have been having 2 sessions per week for about 3 weeks now and I am amazed at my recovery. The exercises and stretches have been perfect for my issue and I always seem to feel better after therapy. I was told this week that we are past the “danger-zone” (of re-injury) and can now begin the strengthening phase. We chose this practice because of their great reputation and a recommendation by a medical professional in the area and have not been disappointed. As an added bonus, the view out the windows of the mountains is amazing!
