Management- why I hate this word when it comes to rehab.

I have heard this word thrown around a lot, particularly the NHS and it really frustrates me.

I feel that this word is used because:

❌ NHS uses it as a lot of services are self management or symptom management services

❌ I feel as though it’s used when clinicians are struggling to get you better or cannot progress you beyond a certain level

Here is the thing though, management is easy:

⏺️ use this pain relief

⏺️ use heat, ice or this support

⏺️ just google these exercises

⏺️ try this leaflet or exercise sheet

⏺️ try these banded exercises

These all have one thing in common…it’s symptom management and generic, not patient specific and it’s not a long term solution ❌

Here is what would be better:

✅ looking at the person as a whole looking at the injury and emotional history

✅ look at lifestyle impacts such as sleep, physical activity, medical problems, diet and mindset

✅ look the person holistically and address the site of pain and other areas that may contribution to the current problem, address the system and not the isolated area.

✅ make rehab goal and milestone specific and take the patient through a graded exposure of rehab.

If your rehab lacks clarity DM me the word MOVE.

Here is a Snipet of me talking about the neck and things to consider on assessment:

Upper and lower cervical spine flexion-

⏺️ if this is limited to can cause Neck movement in general to be stiff.

⏺️ It also helps to drive rib cage depression and retraction.

⏺️ if it’s limited can stress lower nerve root issues and cause radicular features into the upper limb. Good length into the subocciptals, levator scapula, rhomboids and iliocostalis can help to minimise this.

Upper limb power and coordination:

⏺️ If the upper limb is not doing a good job it can cause the neck to work harder

Rib cage and thoracic spine:

⏺️ stiffness in these areas can cause mobility issues around neck, shoulder and lower back. Getting the rib cage and thoracic moving well can help with ROM and pain.

SAFETY 🚨

Why it could be holding you back with your rehab and preventing you progress.

Firstly safety can be important in certain circumstances such as:

⏺️ post op guidelines e.g. ACL for tissue protection
⏺️ making the nervous system or person feel safe if they are in fight or flight
⏺️ not skipping phases of rehab and sticking to the plan to avoid flare up

However, there are times were safety or being over cautious or fearful can prevent or hinder progress with your rehab, this is how:

⏺️ unhelpful behaviour, thoughts and feelings to pain and sensations.

⏺️ when you get a flare up or a twinge stop all activities and rest

⏺️ avoiding activities or rehab progressions issued to you by your therapist even when you have no pain due to fear that your are going to hurt yourself

⏺️ being super aware of sensations and using this as a reason to not exercise

Instead think a bit differently and try this:

✅ change your mindset, rehab is not a quick fix and it’s not linear, you will have periods of success and set backs, this is normal and all part of the rehab journey.

✅ when your therapist has given you the go ahead to progress with your exercises, trust your therapist and stick to the plan. Remember working together improves outcomes.

✅ when your get a flare up, do not panic. Take a step back and reflect, how has your sleep, mindset, diet, alcohol intake, stress levels, all these can impact pain.

Here is the advice I would give a new grad physio:

1️⃣ you only start to truly learn when you qualify and get the experience in the real world. Don’t worry about knowing everything when you graduate, you will get better over time. Don’t be afraid to put the work in and your will develop.

2️⃣ along your journey, people will talk, shoot you down and belittle you. Make sure you are prepared for this because it’s going to happen, trust me it’s happened to me loads. Here is the thing though…from my experience people talk and shoot you down when they are intimidated and want to make themselves feel better.

3️⃣ Find a good mentor, that you can trust and has results that can back it up. Remember if you want to get better, you need to invest in yourself and learn new things, this is a non negotiable.

4️⃣ consider the evidence, but don’t let it rule everything. Remember evidence can be hit and miss and sometimes you have to consider other options if the evidence does not work. I think clinical reasoning is an underutilised skill that is not used enough.

5️⃣ traditional rehab such as banded exercises, exercise sheets are not good enough for the real world. You have probably heard me mention this a lot, but I do not think I have seen anyone that has been given an exercise sheet and banded exercises get better and I have seen a lot of patients.

6️⃣ Be different, don’t be afraid to be different, think outside the box, and try a bit of manual therapy as an adjunct to treatment, it’s amazing how appreciative patients will be when you are a bit different from traditional approaches.

7️⃣ Understand the importance injury history, human movement, strength and conditioning and biomechanics to help identify the true cause.

8️⃣ Make sure rehab has milestones and is goal and patient specific and have an understanding of when to progress and regress patients.

If I can do it so can you, I have been through some of the most toughest times you could imagine and I have managed to overcome adversity.

Here are three adductor exercises that you need to try 👇

1) short lever adductor side plank- great for strength and getting length into the adductor.

2) short lever adductor side plank shifting forwards and backwards to further facilitate strength and lengthening but more proximally.

3) short lever adductor side plank with reach to facilitate transverse plane loading and lengthening.

Give these a go and let me know in the comments what you think 👇

Need Support with your tricky patients?

Here are the common themes that I have witnessed and here is what to do about it:

Common themes:

❌ going through the motions with the subjective assessment and asking the questions for the sake of it rather than understanding the why behind your questioning?

❌ harsh reality but unsure of diagnosis as your subjective is not in depth enough

❌ not sure what to assess or where to start with your objective assessment as you have gone through the motions with your subjective assessment which sets you up to fail for your objective assessment

❌ due to lack of clarity from your subjective and objective assessment you are lost of where to start your treatment and rehab and pray the patient will get better

Here is what you need to do 👇

✅ go deep with the subjective assessment, look into injury history and see if it relates to the current problem.

✅ with your aggravating and easing factors, think of tissues involved and what tissues are shortening and lengthening

✅ use the information from the subjective to help guide your objective assessment, this will make it clearer of what you need to assess as the subjective tells us a lot

✅ using the subjective and the objective info, this will help you decide where you start your hands on treatment and rehab

✅ establish patient milestones and goals to help map out a treatment plan
