At times a general treatment to calm your nervous system and body is perfect 😴
Other times more intense treatment is needed to get results with chronic pain. 🙌🏻

Re**us Femoris is a powerful muscle that attaches to the Patella and the Ilium. Therefore anyone with Hip or Knee dysfunction must have it assessed.
If you are tight in this area try releasing Re**us femoris with a ball instead of a foam roller and follow up with glute activation exercise.

Are you having pain somewhere that stretching or strengthening is not improving? Check your spine and nerves!

TMJ pain can often be caused from poor jaw alignment from muscular imbalances. This can be very painful to massage in the acute stage. A well placed needle can help reduce pain before following up with mobilisations and massage as needed.

This is the process I use with patients in the clinic after I have assessed (Assessment needs its own post 🤯) the area of dysfunction.
Let’s be honest, everyone returns to their sport or hobby that they love before they are fully recovered from an injury.
So this checklist can be used by therapists when treating patients as I do or you can follow this to rehab your own injury. I will post more details with examples soon.

Assessment of bony landmarks can tell you a lot!
On most* patients the spinous process of T3 lines up with the spine of the scapula.

Whichever shoulder has dysfunction, whether it is a elevated (higher) or depressed (lower) scapula will need to be manually treated and strengthened accordingly.
