This hirt watching this. Got my stitches out about 2 and 1/2 weeks ago I see my orthopedic on a 19th hoping to start therapy soon but I don't know I'm just trying my best
My achilles tore about 20 years ago. No surgery was needed, yet my calf muscle doesn't seem to engage, even with calf raises. Love the video. Maybe you have some assistance? No pain. I had to leave pt after 3 months for work. (Imagine that work needed me back)
My axillary nerve is inflamed according to mri but it’s in continuity .. but it’s not sending a signal so I have deltoid paralysis .. no apparent trauma to cause injury and it’s been 6 months .. any exercises I can do ?
Omg…., I’ve been suffering with ankle pain post my total knee replacement surgery it’s been months. I just tried this and felt something release. It was instant. I can now move my knee without pain. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Blows my mind that this would be as effective as deep tissue release of the psoas , but I’m sure it’s more enjoyable on the clients end and spares the practitioners fingers . I look forward to trying it on my clients but nervous it won’t be as good.
How exactly does this treat a lateral epicondyle? Like are you just stretching out the wrist extensors or moving it through available ROM to get it back to normal function?
I've been getting parasites out of my patients since 2007; it is not a fad. My advice to you is take Para 1 and Para 2 from Cellcore Biosciences and see what happens.
Hi there thank you for your content. When my son was 4 he had bilateral Achilles lengthening surgery after 6 months of therapy and night boots. He was so tight we couldn't get him into day braces. After surgery we continued with physical therapy until they said we were done. We thought that issue was in the rear view mirror. However he's now 8 and he's gradually starting to raise his heals again when standing and walking. Another issue that he has due to using different muscles to walk from 8mth old to 4 when he got his surgery is a lack of core muscles. His calf muscles were huge. He was the tightest baby ever. He couldn't put his feet anywhere near his mouth. O brought all of this up to his pediatrician when he was a tight infant and at every apt since he started walking at 8 mths that he was walking very high up on his toes. They said can he put his foot flat. Yes he can. So nothing was done until he saw a neurologist. Sorry for the long story. Since I noticed this issue seems to be coming back I started doing yoga and Pilati's with him. He is still extremely stiff and can barely reach past his knees when bending to touch his toes. I was wondering if there is another form of exercise that stretches the whole body and also works on building core muscles. Also how many times a day or a week should we be working on this,and how long at a time. I have a hard time getting him to stretch for even 15 mins. It's painful and he doesn't want to do it. Thanks for any advice. I'm desperate.
Well, you can't really isolate joints without doing "tissue work" because the tissues are surrounding the joints. For me, manual therapy has effective, but also non-specific effects and that's backed up by current research.
Had a patient with restless leg syndrome I began doing this on along with normal PROM of his hips and therapeutic exercises and he did amazing with his symptoms. It really took off once I began this technique.
When do you move from phase 1 to phase 2 and phase 3. I have tears in my Vastus medialis, Vastus laterialis and Vastus Medialis. I dropped a 220 pound bar on my left thigh. I'm able to walk but my knee will randomly pop forward and I immediately fall down with no chance of recovering from falling. I'm a little better after a month but still very weak.
Thank you for the tips! My left leg feels longer than the right and the IT band has been super sore following a long run. I hope these will help sort it
We clinicians can debunk these extreme diet ideas by simply explaining the human fundamental biochemistry, hormonal, and metabolic negative consequences to our patients.
My pinky finger was dislocated when I was playing rugby for the under 21 squad for my home town when I was 19 I put it back in place myself and jumped back on the field and continued to play.. now I’m 35 and it’s not straight like my other pinky could I still get it back in to place or do I have to live with it for the rest of my life?
Possibly, but in this video I'm only inhibiting the pec minor. Also scapular winging/dyskinesia has been proven to be somewhat normal and not cause pain.
Thank you somuch... its working i was doing uber from 8 days and suddenly i have very bad shoulder and arm pain....i thought may b something wrong with my heart but after doing ths excerise i feel better
I just found your channel. Do you have techniques for frozen shoulder? I’m a year into it and it’s still painful and locked. Would like to avoid cortisone injection if possible.
Hey Dr. E, hopefully I can attend another course with you soon ! I’ve tried this technique numerous times and have about a 30-40% success rate with it lol. Maybe I’m doing something wrong 😑 but yeah
Should be higher definitely unless it’s acute trauma but I’ve even done it in acute ankle sprains and it significantly relieved pain (not completely though). What do it think the issue could be?
@@modernmanualtherapy I think I should repeatedly ask if the the tenderness is better as I layer on the technique. I usually just put them in the technique when they tell me it’s tender. And after slowly taking them out of it, I ask if it’s better. Some report change, most for me no change. Also now that I’m thinking about it, I forget to tip the scapular and traction the skin towards. I’m gonna add those and keep you posted!
@@MinhTran-cl6tbYes, you have to ask as you're doing the technique if it's getting better, not just at the end. Otherwise you don't know if it's effective. Should be at least 80% reduced intensity in the positional inhibition
Hey Dr. E, I hope this comment finds you well! I was wondering if you had any exercise for an SMCD of the ankle. I’m currently seeing a patient with active tandem DF on the right is DN, with passive being FN. Directional preference of ankle inversion and no indication of lumbar involvement after an examination. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Best, Minh
@@modernmanualtherapy Initially, I explored just saggital plane. Half kneeling DF seem to improve his ROM and desensitized the ankle (visit 1). HEP was that move. Our clinical audit at this time was tippy toe walking. Patient was unable to perform this. Second visit, he was not responding rapidly and I wasn’t sure if he is just a show response. So I OP plantarflexion, and pt said his ankle got tighter. So I knew I was in the right DP. Then I had him perform DF w/ eversion. He responded rapidly to this and his mid foot restored joint ROM. Home exercise program was just DF w/ eversion in half kneeling. Also, lumbar extension helped improve sensitivity of the area. 3rd and 4th visits were progression of that exercise. Patient was able to perform tippy toe walking by this visit. And his recovery time for his work ( retired, but referees)has improved drastically. Our new audit was active tandem DF. Pt reported feeling like his ankle/midfoot doesn’t want move, like something was stuck. I performed joint mobs and grade 5s to the tarsals and metatarsal. We loaded it with pails and rails. Retested it and no improvement. I tried multiple techniques to see if I could improve this. Next few visits, pt had a flare up working (referrees basketball). We took a passive approach and I asked if it was possible for him to take a small break from his routine. At this point, I decided to re-evaluate loading strategies and looked into lateral components. Loaded eversion, increased pain and tightened up the area. Loaded inversion in seated and standing decreased pain and tightness. However, active tandem DF was unchanged. Overall, he has improved drastically. However we plateaued and we had a flare up. Hope this helps, I appreciate you replying!
@@modernmanualtherapy my initial reply didn’t post :(. But long story short. Treatment plan one w/ 4 visits, DF w/ eversion was the reductive factors. Tippy toe walking was the audit that improved after treatment. Lumbar extension desensitized the ankle. Patient’s recovery time improved from a week down to about a day ( he would be really sore after refereeing basketball games). Treatment plan 2, clinical audit was active tandem DF. I tried several loading strategies and progress loading of DF. No improvement. Explored just lateral movements, eversion make it worse. Inversion improved gait and sensitivity. No change to the audit. Currently we plateau in our treatment and he had 2 flare ups. So we took out the reproducing factor ( asked him to take a break from referreeeing). I’m expecting to see him tomorrow
high pain tolerance is as long as its not a 8 - 9 and everything is working i will move i went to a doctor because i had a little pain rotating my foot and felt crunchy still waked on it and was thinking about going for a walk on a sprained ankle
There are braces you can buy that temporarily relieve pain, but I recommend trying the resets in my video then getting back to activity rather than splinting or bracing if possible.
@@modernmanualtherapy I did.. it didn't relieve the pain...it only made it worse.. there's a pain behind my wrist aswell now.. that's why I'm asking if I can strap it
@@aydencorbett Sure, but if these made it worse, you really need to see a qualified physical therapist/physio instead of trying a brace or strap. You need a thorough evaluation,
I thought that achilles tendon could only be damaged with dorsiflexion movements while landing, jumping, etc where the force is too great for the tendon to handle, but I did some drills for high kick where I pivot on the bottom foot to the outside and heard a pop and now the achilles tendon is sensitive to the touch and I also feel it during some movements
The Achilles can definitely be strained with twisting movements as it still places a force on the foot/ankle and calf muscles. Hope you recover soon! Take it easy for a bit.
