mjukdelmobilisering

Mjukdelmobilisering is a manual therapy technique used in physiotherapy and other allied health professions. It involves applying specific pressures and movements to the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. The primary goal of mjukdelmobilisering is to restore normal tissue function, reduce pain, and improve range of motion.

The technique can be applied in various ways, including kneading, stripping, friction, and stretching. The therapist uses their hands, fingers, thumbs, or forearms to apply these forces. The duration and intensity of the mobilization are tailored to the individual patient's condition and tolerance. Mjukdelmobilisering is often used to address conditions like muscle strains, scar tissue restrictions, adhesions, and general stiffness.

It is believed to work by increasing blood flow to the affected area, breaking down adhesions, releasing muscle tension, and stimulating the body's natural healing processes. While often used in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities, mjukdelmobilisering is a distinct hands-on approach focused specifically on the manipulation of soft tissues. Patients may experience some temporary soreness after treatment, but this typically subsides quickly. The effectiveness of mjukdelmobilisering is supported by clinical observation and is a common component of many rehabilitation programs.
