Let´s face it, there are many therapists that only treat where it hurts. This is an ineffective method of treatment. This approach wastes the therapist and patients time and money. It may also worsen the patients symptoms and slow their recovery.
By using precise evaluation techniques, you will find your treatments help stop the "Pain".
Once you knwo what is the cause, only then can you treat the patient.
Finally, you can now clearly communicate to your patient the primary postural or structural problems and suggest evidence based treatment. This is very helpful for insurance documentation and reimbursement.
