Joint mobilisation in Billericay

Slow, gentle joint movements to ease stiffness and pain, suitable even when manipulation isn't.

What it is

Mobilisation uses slow, rhythmic movements of a joint, graded to how painful and stiff it is. It's gentler than manipulation and doesn't involve a quick thrust.

It's used to reduce pain and restore movement in the spine, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles, and is often a good option for older patients or very painful joints.

What to expect

1

Assess the joint

Assessment to see how it moves, where it's stiff and what's causing the pain.

2

Graded movements

Gentle, rhythmic movements graded from 1-3 and matched to how the joint responds.

3

Home exercises

Simple movements to keep the stiffness from creeping back.

Questions people ask

Can I just book this treatment?

You can, but most people leave it to me. Every session is 45 minutes and the same price, and I'll combine whichever methods your injury needs. You can always say no to any technique.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No. You can book directly. If I think you need a scan or a GP's opinion, I'll tell you.

What should I wear?

No specific clothing is required

Not sure it's right for you?

Tell me roughly what's going on and I'll recommend the right treatment. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm out of clinic.
