MOBILISATIONS & MANIPULATIONS – FAQs
Mobilisations and Manipulations are specialised hands-on techniques used by our physiotherapists and podiatrists to restore natural joint movement and function. Mobilisations involve gentle, controlled movements to improve flexibility, while Manipulations use a slightly quicker, more precise action to realign the joint. Together, they help reduce stiffness, relieve pain, and enhance overall mobility.
These treatments are ideal for anyone experiencing restricted movement, stiffness, or discomfort in the foot, ankle, or lower leg. They’re particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from injury, managing chronic joint conditions, or seeking to improve performance and prevent future issues.
