Joints are normally free and unrestricted. We accomplish nothing through moving it through a normal range. But in cases where a joint is abnormal or hindered the essence of manipulation is directed at the recovery of the underlying cause by massage and passive movements and as far as is possible the restoration of the joint to it's normality.
