Sometimes, aches and pains seem to spring out of the blue. Joint mobilization therapy is the manual intervention of passive movement to the skeletal joint. It is aimed at the synovial joint which is the part that has the most movement in the human body. The difference between cartilaginous and fibrous joints is in the function and structure as well as the existence of capsules surrounding the surfaces and the presence of fluid within the synovial cavities.
This therapy includes massages so that it decreases any stress and will improve fluid circulation creating and energetic balance. It is done with the purpose of healing a certain musculoskeletal condition. Orthopedic specialists can describe each muscle or muscle group that needs to be manipulated and can explain to the client exactly why that specific one needs to be worked on. They are thought to be more clued up on muscle then the general physician.
A gliding or plane type is the carpals of the wrist and has a sliding movement between the vertebrae. The hinge is the elbow and this is more like a door hinge that allows extension and flexion. The condyloid joints are where two bones fit together with an odd shape; one is concave the other convex. These joints allow for adduction, abduction extension and flexion movements.
The muscles and joints need to be treated together at the same time. If any muscles are feeling tight and are loosened with treatment the taught joint capsules will still be with less movement and will eventually cause the muscles to become tight again. This is the main reason why massage therapists and chiropractors work together.
Many of these names might seem unfamiliar so here is a quick breakdown. The abduction is the movement that is away from the mid-line of the body, while adduction is towards the mid-line. The extension is the straightening of the limbs and flexion is the bending. Rotation is the circular movement around a fixed point.
The primary joints that are normally affected are the hips, ankles, thoracic spine and the shoulders. These can limit your ability to perform even the most mundane things and can lead to injuries. Many athletes are advised to do some warm up exercises so that their joints can respond easier when asked to move. The more one does warm-up with stretches and exercises that better the joints will work.
Osteopathy is a type of alternative medicine and claim that the wellbeing of a person is all about their muscles, bones, ligaments and connective tissue functioning well together. They require having special training in the musculoskeletal system. Their primarily treatment is of stretching, massaging and moving muscles and joints which help the body to heal itself quicker.
With mobilization therapy, this can be corrected but can take up to a few months. It is a method of slowly bringing the joints back into motion without any fast actions. Always ask your doctor before you start any exercises especially if you have had a previous injury.
