Joint Mobilization

Joint mobilization is a therapeutic technique used in post-operative care to improve movement and reduce stiffness in joints. It involves the gentle manual movement of a joint by a trained therapist, aimed at restoring its normal function and range of motion. This process helps to alleviate pain, promote healing, and enhance circulation to the affected area. By gradually moving the joint, the therapist encourages the recovery of soft tissues and helps patients regain their strength and mobility, which is essential for returning to normal activities after surgery.
