**mobilization will usually will involve an inferior mobilization to relocate anteriorly displaced disc**

disc displaced anterior = sticking with CLOSING, will be ipsilateral/c-shaped curve.

if disc is displacing posteriorly you are getting stuck with OPENING and it will be contralateral/s shaped curve.
