Joint Manipulation

Complementary and Manual Therapies

Joint manipulation is a manual technique involving a passive movement of a skeletal joint, meaning the joint is moved by the practitioner rather than by the patient own muscular effort. It is usually directed at one or more specific, or target, synovial joints, with the intention of achieving a therapeutic effect for the patient.
