134. How to help patients that feel asym...

David Pope at Clinical Edge
About this episode

When you’re treating patients that feel like their scapulae are asymmetrical, a rib is “out of place”, or they feel neck or thoracic stiffness without any restriction in movement, they may expect you to perform treatment that is unlikely to help, like joint mobilisation, manipulation or massage.

How can you use the latest pain science in your treatment to help patients overcome the experience of asymmetry, stiffness or something being out of place?

Find out in this podcast with Jo Gibson (Upper Limb Rehabilitation Specialist Physio).

The handout for this podcast is an article referenced in the podcast. There is no additional transcript or handout available.
