Rotation and Mobilisation

Rotation and mobilisation involves an assessment where the practitioner isolates a specific joint or spinal level and passively feels the movement available at that joint.

The practitioner will then treat any stiff joints or spinal levels with gentle movement to relieve the stiffness and return the joint to its proper functions. If the joint or spinal level moves excessively, specific stabilisation and strengthening exercises must be initiated.

It is used for the following:

• Joint stiffness
• Degenerative changes in articular cartilage
• Muscle atrophy, weakness and tension surrounding joints
• Frozen shoulders
• Stiffness of the lower back, neck and hip
