Joint Mobilisation and Manual Therapy are widely used by many allied health professionals, podiatrists, chiropractors, physios and osteopaths, to treat musculoskeletal conditions.
How do they work together?
By freeing up restrictions and stiffness of the joints in the feet
By improving the position of the joints to allow your body to naturally restore its optimal biomechanics (structure and movement).
By allowing the joints to be taken through their natural motions and thereby break up adhesions and restrictions within the area that prevents the joint to operate at its best position.
By combining the therapies with specific but simple corrective exercises, which allow you to contribute and maintain the improvement of your feet when you stopped seeing us.
Why have Mobilization and Manual Therapy?
Restriction and misalignment of the foot and ankle joints are the primary cause of most aches and pain. You may describe a feeling of sore feet, aching feet, poor balancing, acute or chronic pain, general foot tightness or heaviness, stiffness around the foot and ankle or “the feet just don’t feel right!”
These symptoms often happen when joints of the feet are not moving freely within their optimal position. As a result all supporting structures . . . muscles, tendons and ligaments . . . are forced to compensate. This is the catalyst to pain and discomfort.
