Joint mobilization
Mobilization techniques are used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists to treat acute and chronic limitations in joint range of motion. The main idea of this seminar is to give an idea of the biomechanics of the joint, the principles of mobilization, gradation of traction and oscillatory techniques, and development of techniques for influencing large joints of the body.
Participation in the seminar will give a clear understanding of the main methods of mobilization, the choice of the direction of the mobilization push, depending on the nature of the limitation.
At the seminar:
1. Main directions of mobilization. Maitland's approach and Kaltenborn's school.
2. Types of arthrokinematic movements.
3. Plane of influence and the golden rule of convex-concave.
4. Degrees of mobilization by intensity.
5. Counter-indications for mobilization.
6. Practical training in pairs of mobilization techniques.
