Often unilateral lumbar, SI, hip and many lower quarter presentations have a loss of ability to accept load in the ipsilateral or involved lumbar spine. Normally I use sidegliding in standing to assess for this, but came up with an even easier way. Let me know what you find! If someone has a loss or painful limitation to the same side of Sx in lumbar spine/hip or other LQ presentation, load it to end range and re-assess pain, function, and mobility. Easy and Novel Lumbar Assessment for Unilateral LQ Complaints If a patient has limited loaded SB to the involved side, try repeated loading strategies like Sidegliding in Standing press ups with hips offset (hips away from the painful side) lumbar rotation mobilization, loading the involved side (painful side down on the table) Learn how to integrate this easy assessment into your evaluation by clicking the button below to check out Modern Manual Therapy Premium!

So, ...

Over my years of practicing I’ve realized that many clinicians have no criteria for progressing/regressing their post-surgical patients rehab programs.  They seem to do it randomly or “just because.”  And if you’re anything like me, the “just because” reason doesn’t fly. So here are the thoughts, criteria, etc. that go through my head when deciding on when/how to progress (or regress) patients rehab programs.  I’m not saying these criteria are the only way to do things or set in stone, rather they are guidelines I use to safely progress my treatments.  Anything has to be better than nothing. The two main areas I will touch upon are range of motion and ther-ex (i.e. strengthening, neuromuscular, dynamic stability, etc). Range of Motion First, let me say that if a surgeon wants certain ROM limitations, then you follow them.  And yes, I’m well aware many surgeons are behind the times and put silly, many times counterproductive, limitations on their patien...
