Spondylosis and Facet Joint Disease

Hi there,

I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on the best Maitland mobilisations and other treatment for the above conditions.

Many thanks

hi
as suggested one of my mentors rotational mobilizations help in degenerative conditions like spondylosis.
it can be directed via ischium in side lying
via spinous process or articular pillar in prone lying with a pillow under the abdomen.
for facetal joints more localisation can de done by fixing the adjacent spine while directing rotational mobilization of the affected segment

If you have a specific painful joint it may be more effective to use a Mulligan upglide while the patient does the painful movement - that affects the posterior facet joint directly and provides immediate relief of pain with movement if the level is chosen correctly
