AB Joint  mobilization,  also  known  as  manipulation,  refers  to  manual  therapy  techniques  that  are  used  to  modulate  pain  and  treat  joint  impairments  that  limit  range  of  motion  (ROM)  by  specifically  addressing  the  altered  mechanics  of  the  joint.  The  altered  joint  mechanics  may  be  due  to  pain  and  muscle  guarding,  joint  effusion,  contractures  or  adhesions  in  the  joint  capsules  or  supporting  ligaments,  or  aberrant  joint  motion.
