Mobilization with movement
-
Mobilization with Movement is typically how our therapists see lasting results with patients. The technique allows the movement or joint to restore full pain-free range of motion.
-
With this technique, the therapist will apply a passive accessory joint mobilization while the patient performs the painful movement. When the correct mobilization is utilized, the movement will regain full pain-free movement. Our joint and muscle mobilization in Scottsdale can help you see lasting effects by increasing your mobilization with movement.

what the research says..
-
Mobilization with movement (MWM) showed to be the superior treatment for Primary Shoulder Impingement versus the control group, exercise group and exercise with mobilization group. The MWM group demonstrated the greatest change in active range of motion (Kachingwe et al., 2008).
-
In patients with subacute grade 2 ankle sprains, MWM demonstrated significantly improved ankle dorsiflexion range of motion immediately after performing the manual treatment compared to the control group (Collins et al., 2004).
-
For patients with lateral epicondylalgia (lateral elbow pain or tennis elbow) patients had significantly greater pain-free strength and maximum strength in the impaired elbow (Abbott et al., 2001).
