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

June 25, 2024

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! 👍✨
