What is Manipulation & Mobilisation?

Manipulation & mobilisation are manual techniques used by physiotherapists in order to improve the mobility and function of your soft tissues, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Manipulation is usually performed as a very fast, accurate movement on the neck or back area and provides pain relief and increases flexibility. This is a safe and effective technique used as part of a treatment plan or session. Often it’s accompanied by a small “pop” or click as a result of the release of pressure.

Mobilisation is a slower technique performed on joints, ligaments or muscle, and is also used for pain reduction and flexibility improvement. It is slower than manipulation, with smooth movements applied in a repetitive process which can be either firm or gentle, depending on what is more appropriate for your condition being treated.

As physiotherapists we are experts when it comes to the body’s musculoskeletal system and will use manipulation and mobilisation as part of their treatment, if appropriate for your condition.
