Abstract
The following are suggested joint distraction and gliding techniques for use by entry level therapists and those attempting to gain a foundation in joint mobilization. A variety of adaptations can be made from these techniques. The distraction and glide techniques should be applied with respect to the dosage, frequency, progression, precautions, and procedures as described in this section. Basic concepts of joint mobilization were presented, including definitions of terminology and the two grading systems. Joint mobilization techniques are one part of a total treatment for decreased function. Therapy should also include appropriate range of motion, strengthening, and functional techniques.
