How is mobilization performed?

Typically, the therapist has the patient lie on a massage table or sit in a chair. The therapist will check most of the patient's joints for restricted range of motion. The therapist moves the joint at an angle or in a way that is difficult and/or painful for the patient to move on their own. The therapist relaxes the joint before applying more pressure. The intended goal is to increase range of motion without further stressing joints. Soft tissue mobilization focuses on such range of motion difficulties.
