Passive Motion Therapy Relieves Back Pain
One old method to relieving back pain is passive motion therapy. There are three types of joint motion in each joint of the body: active, passive and overpressure or otherwise called joint motion. Passive joint motion is when a therapist moves the joint without the help of the patient. Not only does the the therapist move the joint, but they move the joint slightly further than the patient would have been able to on their own. This type of joint motion is call passive joint motion therapy.
