What is vertebra joint mobilizations ?
Vertebral joint mobilizations are passive movements designed to address stiffness, soreness, and discomfort in the neck (cervical), mid-back (thoracic), and lower back (lumbar) vertebrae.
​
These movements replicate the natural physiological and accessory motions within your joints. If certain activities or movements have become difficult or painful, vertebral mobilizations provide a safe and methodical way to regain motion and reduce discomfort.
​
Performed entirely within your subjective pain threshold, this treatment ensures that discomfort never exceeds a 4/10 on the pain scale. It is an excellent option for individuals suffering from:
-
Headaches
-
Neck pain
-
Upper, mid, and lower back pain
​
​
How Vertebral Mobilizations Can Benefit You:
​
-
Joint Lubrication: Encourages the secretion of synovial fluid to reduce pain and improve joint mobility.
-
Fibrous Tissue Breakdown: Stretches and reduces restrictive fibrous tissues, allowing for better range of motion.
-
Decreased Muscle Spasms: Relieves joint guarding and muscle spasms by promoting safe, new ranges of motion while signalling the brain that the area is no longer at risk.
-
Improved Proprioception: Stimulates mechanoreceptors in joint soft tissues to enhance body awareness and control.​

This treatment method was pioneered by Geoffrey Maitland, a visionary in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, whose techniques have become a cornerstone in modern manual therapy.
