Basics of Mobilizations | Theory, Maitland Classifications, & Grades I-V

The video tutorial explains mobilizations and manipulations, focusing on the Maitland classification system. It uses a rubber band analogy to describe how soft tissue mobilization works, highlighting the concepts of R1 and R2 resistances. The tutorial covers Grades 1 to 4 mobilizations, which vary in amplitude and resistance levels, and their applications for pain reduction and range of motion improvement. It also discusses Grade 5 mobilizations, known as manipulations, which involve high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts near the end range of movement.
