Cervical Mobilization
The technique is used to mobilize a specific cervical or upper thoracic segment (C2-C3 through T3-T4) in a posterior to anterior direction. The therapist gently applies pressure in an anteroposterior direction in the plane of the facet joint to assess mobility, resistance, end feel, and pain provocation. Gentle oscillations can be used to either inhibit pain (grades I and II) or restore motion (grades III and IV). Slight variations in depth and direction of force can be used to optimize the therapeutic effects of this technique.
