Abstract
Interpretation. The magnitude of intervertebral movement produced by mobilisation is small. Forces applied at one spinous process produced not only movements at the target vertebra but also movements of the entire cervical spine resulting in an increase in lordosis. Mobilisation should be interpreted as three-point bending of the entire cervical spine, rather than simple gliding of one vertebra upon another.
