Manual Therapy Overview
Tips
Here is the current aspects of manual therapy I am currently working on:
- Dont shear as much, it will be more irritating
- You can strum and feel around for general examination, but for in depth palpation, use small surface area and sink in
Goal setting
The purpose of goal setting is to establish the client’s wants versus their needs, and identifying how their current behavior is not achieving these states2.
Understanding why the client is seeking help
“Includes establishing a timeline leading up to their current state. This timeline helps to uncover acute vs chronic injury. Curent complains and objective dysfunctions create a big picture of how the body is adjusting to its problems”
Injury timeline also impact treatment response timelines2. In general, the longer the injury timeline, the greater the treatment response timeline and therefore the slower the recovery2.
It is important to note that treatments are painful2. To create a response, you must stress the system. Treatments must be aggressive to create a significant stress2.
