There’s no fixed rule for joint gliding direction—it’s all about understanding patterns

To determine the direction, you need to know the nature of the tissue, the joint, and the injury. For instance, I usually glide MPs dorsally, but both directions can work depending on the methodology.

However, I always glide a CMC dorsally due to the joint's nature. Remember, never glide a dislocated joint in the direction of the dislocation unless it’s been a long time. If this insight helps, drop a comment or reach out on social media. Don’t forget to like and subscribe for more tips! 👍✨
