\"\"\/<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Joint and spinal manipulations involve moving a joint in a push at high speed and at a low amplitude exerted by the physiotherapist.<\/p>\n

Joint and vertebral manipulation will restore an amplitude of motion or relax muscle and tendon tissue through a neurophysiological approach.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It is important to remember that manipulation will never be the only technique used in a physiotherapy treatment and only physiotherapists who have undergone specialized training for joint and spinal manipulations can apply these techniques.<\/p>\n

This technique is always part of an overall treatment and will intervene following an evaluation. It will often be followed by other mobilization techniques or exercises.<\/p>\n

In short, the purpose of manipulation is to restore the joint to its optimal mobility. However, it is important to mention that not all mobility limitations can be manipulated.<\/p>\n

There are two types of manipulations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Spinal manipulations<\/strong>, which include all manipulations performed in the spine (for the cervical, dorsal and lumbar region)<\/li>\n
  • Peripheral manipulations<\/strong>, which include all manipulations performed on the joints of the limbs (elbows, wrists, hip, knee, ankle, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
