If your joints become restricted in any way, then you may experience joint pain or joint stiffness. Joint pain and joint stiffness or a locked joint, can be associated with any joint, muscle, tendon and ligament injury. Normally, an alignment or control issue is the cause of the joint moving in an awkward and unnatural direction.
Joint mobilisation (treatment designed to allow your joints to move easier and ideally without pain) will vary depending on the type of joint stiffness and pain associated with moving the joint.
Treatment techniques will focus on achieving a normal range of pain-free motion. Your physiotherapist will conduct a detailed analysis of your condition prior to implementing any joint mobilisation. Thereafter, a range of joint mobilisation techniques may be prescribed including gentle and pain-free techniques.
