MOBILISATION

Mobilisation helps to correct the alignment of the joints resulting in release pressure on the nervous system, therefore reducing pain and tension within the body.

Mobilisation involves gentle to vigorous rocking movements of joints and vertebrae. This movement results in the structural re-alignment  of the bones, followed by the release of the nerves and finally the relaxation of the muscular system.

This treatment does not use high velocity or “fast thrust” adjustments that can sometimes cause the body to seize up;  in contrast, it is rhythmic, relaxing and is aimed at gently inviting release rather than forcing it.

Tight muscles, tendons and connective tissues can restrict the normal range of motion of a joint. By releasing the soft tissues, through massage  and other soft tissue therapies, this can then allow the spontaneous realignment of joints. When the body does not respond to soft tissue therapies, and joints remain out of alignment, contributing to pain, tension or loss of movement, mobilisation can be a fast and effective intervention.

Mobilisation can be applied to the spine, neck, cranium, wrists, fingers, ankles, feet and toes.  This technique however, is not appropriate in the case of a joint replacement, disk bulge or certain other conditions affecting the spine.

The benefits of mobilisation include:

    • Pain relief and/or pain reduction,
    • Increased range of motion of joints,
    • Release of muscle tension,
    • Relief and/or reduction of muscle pain,
    • Release of nerve entrapment’s,
    • Reduction of tingling,
    • Increased sensation for areas of numbness,
    • Return to normal activities allowing for optimal standard of living.
