Restore Joint Mobility and Relieve Pain
At Brentwood Physiotherapy, we specialize in joint mobilization techniques to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and optimize joint health. Our experienced physiotherapists in Calgary use evidence-based manual therapy and personalized treatment plans to get you moving freely again.
What is Joint Mobilization?
Joint mobilization is a hands-on physiotherapy technique used to treat joint pain and improve mobility. The physiotherapist uses skilled, controlled movements and forces to mobilize joints, to increase their range of motion. This helps to stretch muscles and ligaments, stimulate synovial fluid production for joint lubrication, and encourage proper joint alignment. Different grades or intensities of joint mobilization may be used, depending on the individual’s condition. The physiotherapist will also examine and treat the muscles around the joint being mobilized. When performed by a trained physiotherapist, joint mobilization is an effective way to reduce joint stiffness, alleviate pain, regain mobility, and improve overall joint function.
It involves the skilled application of specific movements and techniques to joints and soft tissues to:
- Restore normal range of motion
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Improve joint alignment and mechanics
- Break up adhesions and scar tissue
Our physiotherapists use different grades of joint mobilization based on your condition and goals.
Benefits of Joint Mobilization
Joint mobilization provides numerous benefits for people suffering from joint pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility. It helps increase joint range of motion, reduce inflammation and pain, improve alignment and mechanics, break down adhesions, and ultimately restore normal joint function. Joint mobilization also allows people to return to their daily activities and sports more quickly after an injury.

- Increased joint range of motion and flexibility
