The Peripheral Joint Mobilization Glides course introduces learners to the principles and clinical application of accessory joint movements used in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. The course explains the biomechanical concepts underlying joint mobilization and the role of gliding techniques in restoring normal joint mechanics.
Students will learn the direction, grading, and therapeutic application of joint glides for peripheral joints, emphasizing proper therapist positioning, patient safety, and clinical indications. The course supports the development of practical skills required to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and enhance functional movement in physiotherapy practice.
