Joint mobilization is an ancient art and science that can trace its origins to the earliest medical lay practitioners. Today, it is practiced principally by physical therapists and chiropractors and to a lesser degree, by osteopathic and medical physicians.

Since the beginning of this century, physical therapy has enjoyed a close relationship with traditional medicine and has developed its knowledge base and practice in spinal and extremity mobilization from the medical profession. Mobilization in physical therapy has become a significant part of its rehabilitation practice, often encompassed in the terms therapeutic exercise, active and passive movement or manual therapy. Instruction in mobilization begins with pre-professional education for those who wish to specialize in this field, instruction continues at the post-professional level, following the medical model of specialization. Since the 1960's, physical therapists have developed their own body of knowledge in mobilization, emphasizing pain relief and enhanced physical function.

Our staff are highly skilled practitioners who often utilize specific manual/mobilization techniques as part of a 'hands on' approach to optimize patient care and their eventual overall outcomes. These techniques are often incorporated in a patient's treatment plan in an effort to maximize optimum physical function of joints within the spine and extremities as well as their surrounding muscles, nerves, blood vessels and other soft tissue structures.
