Joint Mobility With Imagery of Oil


Here the focus is on the pain area.


  • In the morning before standing up: without forcing, slowly bring movement to your body, with the help of your hands if desired.

  • Roll the closest articulation(s) to your injury or pain area, allowing mobility and blood flow to come back to the stiff area. 

  • As you move, imagine oiling the closest joint with ease, releasing tensions. There shouldn’t be a big amount of pain felt. If it is the case, make smaller movement, it is anyway better to start small to then increase the range of movement. 

  • You can as well use proper body oil.

  • Find mobility in all the “healthy” directions possible

  • While doing so observe the pain; is it moving? Is it changing? What is its intensity?

  • Once observed, bring your feet to the floor and slowly shift your weight onto them to stand up.

  • Allow your body to reorganise, to restabilize itself and feel each little changes while rising up. 

  • Slowly start to walk observing objectively each step that you make.

  • Imagine that with each movement, your are oiling your entire body, as if you would oil a bike to make it drive smoother.


Here are some general information about joint mobility

Of course every body is different and has a different range of flexibility but it is interesting to have a general sense of what is considered normal.
