Although more commonly used in osteopathy, physiotherapy also benefits from it.
Among these techniques are high-speed passive joint mobilizations, which consist of mobilizing the patient’s extremities by moving the joints and are used to release joint irritation and tension in muscles and tendons. In other words, it aims to improve the ability to move and thus avoid stiffness or joint pain. In most cases, through joint manipulations, it is possible to modify the posture and generate a good synchrony in the musculoskeletal apparatus.
The most commonly used are thrusts and muscle-energies. The first is performed by a sudden impulse manipulation at high speed and with short amplitude. In this way, the patient’s muscular defenses are surprised. Basically, a movement is generated in the patient that he or she cannot prevent.
The second is a direct manual therapy technique that improves spinal alignment. It is used to reduce pain.
