What does progressive mobilisation involve?

Progressive mobilisation is a rehabilitation technique focused on gradually increasing the range of motion of an injured area. This process is essential for recovery as it helps restore flexibility and function without risking further damage to the tissue. By slowly extending the range of movement, individuals can promote healing, improve circulation, and prevent stiffness, which are crucial in recovering from an injury.

This method is particularly important following an injury or surgery, where it is necessary to balance the need for movement with the protection of the injury site. The gradual approach allows the body to adapt to increased activity levels and helps rebuild strength over time.

Other options involve different strategies related to physical training or injury management but do not align with the principles of progressive mobilisation. Increasing weight lifted or reducing physical activity does not address the need for controlled movement and rehabilitation of the injured area, while immediate full range motion exercises could exacerbate the injury rather than helping it heal effectively.
