Got this idea from David Butler of NOI Group . You can use a finger trap to explain a few things patients have trouble with letting go: you have this current pain/condition, let's accept it's happening and take some active steps to recovery slacking high tone/tension: my manual therapy version of certain ostepathic concepts, slack the tender area or perception of tightness instead of stretching it Positional Inhibition Examples are below Upper Trap for Neurodynamic Dysfunction Rhomboids Latissumus Dorsi the above also works for many repeated loading strategies which are often counterintuitive and the opposite direction they have been moving in or instructed to "stretch." A Visual and Tactile Tool to Explain Loading Strategies Using a finger trap is a fun and active way to do more than lecture at a patient. Remember, patient education is an interactive process!

Want to connect with your patients? You should! Physical Therapy and patient education is a 2 way interaction, not a lecture! Sit back and listen to your patients, try not to interrupt after 11 seconds while you're at it! Think about these 5 questions What is wrong with me? How long will it take? What can I (the patient) do about it? What can you (the healthcare provider) do for me? How much will it cost? Can you answer all of these questions, in an empathetic, educational, and empowering way? Remember, it's likely the longer a patient has had their pain or condition, the more providers they have seen. They've already heard variations of answers to these 5 important questions. Important things to consider de-emphasize "what is wrong" from a pathoanatomical standpoint and focus on an active solution I like to ask, "Do you have a problem with your daily activities?" Your response to the invariable, "Yes," should be, "A...

image via http://back2balancephysio.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/hip1.jpg INTRODUCTION There was a surge of research around the pathophysiology of tendon pathology in 2009, with a notorious article being published by Cook & Purdam titled  Is tendon pathology a continuum model?  The findings of this article have been  summarised in a previous blog , which discusses how Cook & Purdam have paved the way for changing our previous understanding of why tendons become pathological and how pain is driven in these conditions.    Since that time, the term  tendinopathy  has been more readily adopted into clinical practice and we more commonly see clinicians and patients accepting the idea that  tendons don’t become inflamed . Instead,  compression  is thought to create the cell-induced tendinopathic process within the tissues (Cook & Purdam., 2012). As our body of knowledge has grown, researchers h...

Many traditional manual therapy beliefs state that specificity is needed and possible. Neither are true - read this https://modmt.com/bialowsky older but very relevant article.  To have a little experiment, next time you assess any mild to moderate mobility limitation that you feel would normally improve with joint mobilizations, try this little challenge. Don't do the "specific" mobilization normally indicated. If someone has an IR limitation, instead of doing posterior glides, try doing anterior glides. Do it for the normal time you mobilize or only 1-2 minutes tops. Reassess mobility, you'll find in a majority of cases, the missing mobility returns, whether or not you follow arthrokinematic rules. You're not deforming joint capsule, merely stimulating many tissues in the peripheral nervous system causing a novel, non-threatening input to the central nervous system. Much of what occurs with most manual and exercise based treatments that happens rapidly are...

All Biologically significant events involve multiple senses, and this has obvious survival benefits. When we think of an injury or any event in which pain is expressed in the body, we typically focus on what we are feeling in the physical body. This approach has been reinforced throughout our education, but thankfully we are starting to see a shift from hyper-focusing on the physical location of pain to the whole person. After all, if it was purely a physical issue, shouldn’t we be able to rub, stretch, needle, exercise, or scrape the pain away? Wouldn’t it be great if it were this easy? The unfortunate truth is that we’ve all had clients who just don’t respond to this approach. So where do we go from here? At IKN, we put emphasis on the multisensory nature of our human experience, and integrate multiple senses into pain and performance rehabilitation to facilitate more rapid and longer-lasting change. What is neurology and why use a multisensory approach? In order to move and ada...
