Dislocated Joints

Description:

A dislocated joint happens as a result of a traumatic injury which displaces or separates articulated bones.

Precautions:

Massage may be useful in the healing stages for managing scar tissue and muscle spasms around the joint. Massage should not be administered to an acute dislocation.
