Thanks very much for your paper, which definitely made me think.
Regards,
Sue.So why did my knee start to improve with passive movement rather than loading exercises do you reckon?
I’m not sure I’m ready to abandon the structural model! Though it is definitely the case that the psychological factors are equally as important to address.
if I showed a patient’s partner what to do, then his treatment would be as effective as mine? Which eans that my manual skills are not required, just my clinical knowledge? Hard to take….
I have had a broken knee, and for a couple of months, used exercises only (a lot!), plus attempts to perform normal day to day activities. However, it was only when I visited by manual therapy physio that I managed to start getting knee flexion. This appeared to be brought about quickly by passive force and soft tissue.
We were taught that we could make change by using passive movements, not just active, but the article suggests otherwise.
It sounded a bit like any touch we applied would be as any layman could do. Itfeels a bit like we need to become physios in order to support change.
Hi,
i read the paper, and was a bit taken aback. It seemed to be saying that what we learned at college was now defunct.
That it is not possible to change someone’s structure at all? |I looked at one of the papers that were referenced, about achilles tendons, and thought that the result showed that it was possible to make a change?
