What are Joint Pain Relief Techniques?
How Much Joint Movement is Normal?
For full and pain-free movement your joints need to move freely in all directions that they were designed. If they become locked or restricted in any particular direction, you will experience pain and/or stiffness.
Luckily, with the assistance of a skilled physiotherapist who understand your
joints, you can regain quickly and easily regain full and pain-free movement .
Nearly every restriction in movement can be regained by a specific joint technique performed by an experienced Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist. And the good news is ... joint techniques have certainly improved over the years with very gentle and pain-free options available. The old crunch and munch, click and grind techniques are thankfully a thing of the past!
Why Do Joints Stiffen or Lock Up?
Joint stiffness or a locked joint can be associated with any joint, muscle, tendon and ligament injury. Plus, joints can lock and become stuck in an open or closed position. Much like a door that doesn't quite fully swing open or close, it runs into soemthing and it becomes stiff and/or painful.
Normally, a simple alignment or control issue has caused the joint to move in an awkward and unnatural direction. As a result, the joint treatment method used to correct your locked joints will vary depending upon your physiotherapist's diagnosis.
After a diligent assessment, your
physiotherapist will discuss with you what techniques would be the most effective, safe and pain-free. Then, they'll quickly start fixing your problem.
Common Examples of Joint Pain Relief Techniques may include:
- Gentle Joint Mobilisations (eg Maitland, Mulligan, Kaltenborn techniques)
- Mobility Exercises (eg McKenzie exercises)
- Minimal Energy Techniques (Osteopathic-based active joint repositioning techniques)
- Traction / Distraction Techniques
