Spinal Mobilisations - contraindications??

[Emmkam]

I was referring to Maitland mobilisations but hey dont shoot the untrained student physio messenger - sources were taken from the internet!!!
And one with ample amounts of skill and practice would not really be asking the question in the first place would they?

emmkam forgive my little rant , I have been teaching mobilisations and related matters for many years. I often find , amongst the physios and others who have maitland as their central theme, may not appreciate the full range of conditions and situations where Continuous Mobilisation will be of value.
CM is gentle , safe and the most effective way to restore normal unprotected mobility to facet joints. Because this method works so well , I have explored it's use across a very broad range of patient presentations and see it as the method of choice most of the time.
Further information on Cm can be found in abundance of the RE site.
