Many people have fallen down stairs and either broken or severely sprained their ankles. Once it has healed many still complain that after a few minutes of exercise the pain is excruciating and that they are unable to walk down stairs. With joint mobilization therapy this can be overcome and normal activities can resume.
Articular capsule is an envelope that surrounds the synovial joint and each of these has two layers. The outer or the stratum fibrosum is made up of avascular white fibrous tissue. The next is the inner or stratum which is a secreting layer and is normally described as the synovial membrane. The fibrous membrane is attached to the whole circumference of the articular end of the bone entering the joint. These are made up of dense irregular connective tissue.
These therapists pay great attention to the tautness and flexibly of all the soft tissues as well as the joints. These fascial structures help to stabilize and connect the bones of the joints. If this becomes tight over time it will lose its ability to move easily. Only a qualified person will be able to manipulate this so that the joint capsules can be stretched increasing the motion of movement again.
The muscles and joints need to be treated together at the same time. If any muscles are feeling tight and are loosened with treatment the taught joint capsules will still be with less movement and will eventually cause the muscles to become tight again. This is the main reason why massage therapists and chiropractors work together.
This form of therapy is to reduce pain in any joint which has resulted from injury or becoming old. A qualified practitioner is the only one that should do this kind of therapy as it can cause more harm than good if not done properly. When this has been done you might even be told to do some form of exercise so that it does not become worse over time.
The primary joints that are normally affected are the hips, ankles, thoracic spine and the shoulders. These can limit your ability to perform even the most mundane things and can lead to injuries. Many athletes are advised to do some warm up exercises so that their joints can respond easier when asked to move. The more one does warm-up with stretches and exercises that better the joints will work.
The ankles are the most used joints in the body and tend to be the most that give pain of some kind. They have three different joints associated with them; the talocrural, subtalar and the inferior tibiofibular joint. If one is unlucky enough to cause injury to any of these joints and need to wear a brace or tape this can cause them to actually weaken and thus limiting its full range of movement.
For some the fact that they have to live with pain daily can be very daunting. There is help even if it is just temporary. Joint mobilization therapies will help to reduce the pain and increase the functions so that one can be more mobile to do the things that they have always enjoyed. It might not be all that completely effective for everyone, but without trying this form of therapy what would the alternative be?
