COURSE STRUCTURE
To master joint mobilization techniques, it is essential to understand what is being mobilized, why, and how. Each class is therefore structured progressively to promote practical and safe integration of the techniques.

 

Here is a typical schedule for one day of these workshops:

​

Preparation (before the class)
Participants are encouraged to review the targeted anatomical structures before attending the training. This allows them to arrive in class with a basic understanding of the material and helps maximize hands-on practice time.

​

Introduction & context

• Welcome and participant introduction

• Overview of the module (objectives and targeted structures)

• Key concepts: safety, indications, and scope of practice

 

Anatomy review & palpation

A practical and applied review of anatomy is done at the beginning of the course:

• Identification of anatomical landmarks

• Guided palpation

• Understanding joint mechanics

Effective mobilization requires precision, anatomical awareness, and proper positioning.

 

Technique demonstration

• Instructor demonstration on a volunteer

• Explanation of how, why, and when to use each technique

• Key points: safety, client comfort, and accuracy

 

Supervised hands-on practice

The majority of the course is dedicated to practice:

• Practice in teams of 2–3 participants

• Role rotation (therapist / client)

• Real-time supervision and corrections

• Repetition to integrate techniques

This hands-on approach allows you to develop confidence and precision.

 

Clinical integration

• Case-based scenarios

• Clinical reasoning: when to use each technique

• Combining mobilizations with other approaches

 

Review & consolidation

• Review of techniques learned

• Questions and clarifications

• Tips for clinical application
