Joint Mobilization

Joint Mobilization: Gentle Manual Therapy to Support Mobility and Reduce Stiffness

At Rebound Integrative Sports and Health Clinics, Joint Mobilization is a hands-on therapy used to treat restricted joint movement, help with stiffness, and support overall joint function. This gentle technique involves the skilled movement of joints through their natural range, guided by trained providers to promote motion and reduce discomfort.

Unlike forceful adjustments, joint mobilization uses light, controlled pressure to stretch and move the joint. It is often used to help with:

• Stiffness in the shoulders, knees, hips, or spine
• Reduced range of motion from physical stress or inactivity
• Discomfort associated with restricted joint movement
• General joint tightness after activity or prolonged sitting
• Physical tension related to posture or repetitive motion

Each session begins with a movement-focused evaluation. Your provider will then use slow, targeted mobilization techniques to improve joint glide, reduce tension, and support smoother movement — all while staying within your comfort level.

This therapy is commonly included in care plans that may also involve guided stretching, strengthening, or soft tissue work to improve function and promote long-term wellness.

At Rebound Clinics DMV, joint mobilization is one of the many ways we help you move more freely, restore functional motion, and stay active — naturally and safely.
