Relieve Your Aches and Pains with Joint Mobilization in Seattle, Edmonds, Bellevue & Issaquah, WA
Your joints are the gears between your bones that keep your body moving. If they are stuck or sticky you may experience discomfort, a loss of mobility, and a loss in performance. If your joints are not moving properly it doesn’t matter what your muscles are doing, normal joint motion is the foundational key to pain-free movement.
All your joints are surrounded by a sleeve of connective tissue that provides stability to the joint and contains receptors that help your brain fire muscles and coordinate movement. When the joint is not moving well, the information your brain receives from these receptors is altered. This will reduce your strength, coordination, and even balance.
Joint mobilization is the hands-on approach your OMPT-trained physical therapist uses to assess and treat your joints. Joint mobilization helps relieve pressure on joints (by improving the joint mechanics), reduce inflammation (by decreasing irritation), and decrease muscle tightness from protective guarding. It is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy technique that focuses on improving joint mechanics and enhancing joint function.
As the body’s joints are interconnected, even pain that may seem unrelated to the area of concern could be effectively relieved through manipulative treatments.
Our innovative care strategies at MTI Physical Therapy in Bellevue, Edmonds, Fremont, First Hill, Magnolia and Issaquah will help you find quick relief. To learn more about how manipulation could benefit you, request an appointment today.
