A treatment table is built to hold a body still and flat. A couch, a dining chair or the edge of a bed does something a table cannot: it puts the joint in the position it actually has to work in every day, arm resting where an arm rests, hip bent the way a hip bends to stand up from that exact seat. Working from there instead of a padded table is not a compromise. It is closer to the truth of the problem. Kirby PT treats this in your own home, anywhere within 30 minutes of Eau Claire. Call (715) 450-5001. That is the part joint mobilization is aimed at directly: restoring the specific glide inside a joint that a stretch or an exercise cannot reach, because a muscle contracting across a joint and a hand moving the joint capsule itself are two different mechanisms doing two different work. Finding it usually means testing several joints along the same chain, not just the one that hurts, and treating whichever one has actually stopped moving well.
