Non-adjustive is the defining quality of 📝Articular Mobility: no thrust, no click sought, no relocation.
It names what this work is not: not chiropractic, not osteopathic manipulation, not putting a bone back. The joint is moved through the range it already has. A pop that happens on its own is not the goal and is not counted as success.
Clients are told this so they know a crack is not being aimed at. If they want an adjustment, that is another practitioner.
