Listen "Manual Therapy - Does It Work?"
Episode Synopsis
If you are a physio it seems you have to love or hate manual therapy.
Which camp are you in?
I'm in neither camp, and probably sit somewhere in the middle.
I see the value in manual therapy for SOME patients and not others...
And use it differently with different injuries and how I use manual therapy changes as the rehab plan progresses.
How I now use my hands-on treatments is very different to when I started out as a new grad physio.
I made a lot of errors, mainly because I did not truly understand what I was actually trying to do (hint - I was not breaking down scar tissue or smoothing out muscle tissue like I thought I was!).
Listen to this week's podcast episode and hear why my ways of working have changed so much and learn how to better use manual therapy yourself(if you choose to use it) to get better results with your patients and athletes that actually work...
With patients pain and symptoms not returning almost as soon as they jump off the treatment table!
Enjoy the show!
