In this episode of The Shoulder Physio podcast, I am joined by Amy McDevitt, an associate professor and clinician at the University of Colorado. Amy shared her perspective on manual therapy and the importance of unraveling the mechanisms behind this treatment approach.
We discussed the evolving causal explanations of manual therapy, moving beyond antiquated notions towards a more contemporary and scientifically based explanation for how it many help people in pain.
We delved into the complexities of how manual therapy works, from historical biomechanical viewpoints to more contemporary neurophysiological aspects. Amy highlighted the importance of considering contextual factors and therapeutic alliance, which may play a more significant role in patient outcomes than previously believed.
Don't miss this enlightening episode that sheds light on the intricacies of manual therapy and the quest for a deeper understanding of how interventions work to benefit patients.
