Maitland mobilization, part of the broader spectrum of manual therapy techniques, is a highly regarded approach for assessing and treating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Developed by Geoffrey Maitland, an Australian physiotherapist, this technique emphasizes the use of passive joint mobilizations to restore motion, alleviate pain, and improve overall function. It is widely used by physiotherapists, chiropractors, and other manual therapists to treat a variety of conditions involving joints and soft tissues.
