Question 1

Is it the same as manual therapy?

Joint mobilisation is one of the techniques within manual therapy. This page focuses specifically on restoring joint range.

Question 2

Is it painful?

Accepted Answer

Techniques are graded to stay comfortable. You may feel tension, but strong pain is not the goal.

Question 3

Do I need to force recovery of range?

Accepted Answer

No. Progress is gradual and guided by your tolerance. Forcing can irritate the joint and slow recovery.
