Description
Evidence Informed Joint-Play and Mobilization is a reference guide designed for students, instructors, and healthcare providers. This textbook provides concise, easily accessible information on joint play and mobilizations, muscle energy, myofascial techniques, and much more…
“Movement = health and motion is life.” — Joint mobilization is a physical therapy technique designed to relieve pain and muscle spasms, release tension, and improve flexibility in a joint. With joint mobilization, the physical therapist applies gentle passive movements to the joint, which stretches the tissue, and restores joint play. These motions stretch and strengthen the surrounding tissue helping reduce pain and spasm, and increasing mobility.
Joint-Play and Mobilization is a companion to Orthopedic Conditions, Muscle Manual, and Orthopedic Assessment. This text bridges the gap between academics and practical application. Information sources include original research articles with cutting-edge information, 100s of cadaver dissections, and decades of evidence based, multidisciplinary clinical experience. We demo with different sized practitioners to show variation in biomechanics and gender application (5ft/100lbs female vs. 6ft/170lbs male).
For Students
- Execute the steps of effective mobilizations and joint-play including indications, CIs, position, contact, tissue pull and vectors

Students, Instructors and Practitioners ❤ Joint-Play & Mobilization Textbook
“This text is among the best joint mobilization guides available for students, clinicians and instructors. With clear images, by chapter learning outcomes, exam forms and detailed evidenced informed content, no other joint mobilization reference comes close.”
– Dr. Andrew Vargo, MD – Chair of Biomedicine
“I have been in practice and teaching for over 30 years and have found no resources more useful than what Professional Health Systems offers – I require their texts for my classes.”
— Dr. Daniel DeLapp, DC, Lac, ND – USA
“I was a very good examiner, diagnostician and provided very good care to my patients and students. However, since I have purchased your book by curiosity, I have been better at what I do, and your manuals have become excellent tools to my practice. So thank you for the effort and excellent work and I will continue to support you!”
