Joint and vertebral manipulations<\/h2>\n

As part of a physiotherapy treatment, manipulations will be used when there is a limitation of movement or blockage of a joint or the spine.<\/p>\n

\"Joint
\nJoint 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.<\/p>\n

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
