Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between joint mobilization and stretching?
Stretching focuses on muscles, while joint mobilization targets the movement and alignment of joint surfaces, offering more precise improvements in mobility.

Does joint mobilization hurt?
Joint mobilization is designed to provide relief, not discomfort. You may feel mild soreness after a session, but this typically subsides quickly as mobility improves.

How does joint mobilization work?
