Find it and Fix it Right Away?

Here we demonstrate as well as discuss the pros and cons of running/concurrent assessment and treatment. For context, a running/concurrent assessment and treatment means that, in most cases, you immediately treat any restrictions you find.

What Now (3)?

Here we discuss and demonstrate going from a macro assessment to a micro assessment in the light of a particular patient complaint.

Which One is it (2)?

Here we further demonstrate how to differentiate between structures in assessment if required. As a general note, the heuristic statement that may be used is “macro identifies micro then isolate structures in the micro region”.

Which One is it?

Here we discuss and demonstrate how to move from a macro diagnostic to a micro diagnostic to differentiate between structures to identify which one is displaying the most motion loss when you have a need to be very specific in your treatment.

What Now (7)?

Here we continue to demonstrate the concepts of assessment and treatment. In this case we turn our attention to situations where you essentially cannot use your normal assessment protocol.

What Now (6)?

Here we once again continue to simulate assessment and treatment choices. The central feature of this simulation is a complaint with no articular findings such that the soft tissue must be more deeply assessed.

What Now (5)?

Here, we once again continue to discuss/demonstrate/simulate assessment findings and the choices one may make in relation to them to guide treatment. As always, please enjoy.

What Now (4)?

Here we continue to simulate assessment findings and the treatment choices that may be made in relation to those findings. Please enjoy.

What Now (3)

As we have begun to do, we shall simulate an assessment with particular findings followed by the broad approach to interfacing with those findings. The aim is to identify the choices that may be made based on concepts such as patient positioning, barrier choices, patient activity, and sequence of treatment interfaces and re-assessment.

What Now (2)

Here we take time to simulate an assessment that leads to a particular finding. The aim, as will be the case with this extended series of posts, is to present an assessment with particular findings and the clinical choices made in relation to the findings as guided by the heuristics provided over and over through this site.
