I just finished a Modern Manual Therapy Seminar for Northern Physical Therapy in Lyndonille, VT - great course and amazing participants! About a month ago, I lifted by stubborn 80# Golden Retriever into the back of my wife's SUV and "felt" a rib pain. If you follow my work, you know I don't believe in subluxations, facet dysfunction etc. I tried most of my self treatments and assessments and while I could get it feeling good in most activities. Deep breath, trunk rotation left, and heavy lifts were still 4/10 discomfort. So I sought out Northern PT's resident manual therapist expert for his opinion and treatment.
