Joint Mobilisation – Why It’s Only Step One for Back Pain

Why It Matters:

Stiff joints can lock up your back, making every move a grind. Joint mobilisation, gentle, hands-on moves to loosen them, helps, but alone? It’s like oiling a rusty hinge without fixing the door. A 2019 Spine Journal review found it reduces pain short-term but doesn’t stop it coming back unless paired with movement training.

 

How We Use It:

In our Repair phase, we mobilise joints (like your spine or hips) to free up motion. But we don’t stop there. We layer it into our 3-phase framework, adding strength and control so your back doesn’t stiffen up again.

 

Why It’s Not Enough Alone:

Mobilisation eases stiffness, but without retraining your body to move right, the pain creeps back. Think of it as a warm-up, great start, but you need the full workout.

We’ve seen clients feel looser for a week, only to slump back into pain without our system-based approach.
