Mobilisation and Manipulation
Musculoskeletal practitioners may use mobilisation or manipulation to help with pain and improved range of movement. The idea is that joints are meant to move, and helping a joint through its range of movement, or to the end of its range will help to restore the natural movement and function. Techniques can include gliding, mobilisation, or a quick targeted thrust which achieves a popping sound.
