Spine Stiffness
Immediate Effects of Different Rates of Thoracic Mobilization on Pressure Pain Thresholds in Asymptomatic Individuals
Passive mobilizations of the spine are widely used by physiotherapists in the management of neuromusculoskeletal disorders. There is a nascent body of work of the mechanical properties of joint mobilizations.
