CRPS 20 year history

Yea, I mean it was all just assessment grade 2 to 3 to feel the movement, I didn't work on any of the levels because I figured she'd be quite sore and wouldn't take it well. how annoying though... I finish this job tomorow so I suppose I don't have to worry about it anymore, but would love to be able to dig into the Tx and see if we could make a difference. One of my favourite parts of my job is when people come in with 20 year history's and you rapidly improve them (usually it's McKenzie principals that acheieve this though).

dear Puddingbowl,


Still thinking autonomic nerves, I would say it is possible you have irritated the vagal nerve in your enthousiasm.
I will get back to how to treat patients with this bindegewebsmassage in a while.
Still afraid you cannot learn this online though.
AND I am an old bird, and Cyriax trained but NEVER EVER do I mobilise or passively "treat" the cervical spine anymore;certainly not using the old Cyriax´s "techniques".

yep, even though u cant see so easily "centralisation" phenomena in Chronic PAtients...But i dont really think that McKenzie method works a lot because of "disc pathology"....If u estimate that over 30-40 per cent of spinal mechanical pain is from FACETS (there is an up-to-date study on that...) and in clinic we see the majority of patients to responding well in McKenzie priniciples, i firmly believe that u DONT moblise only a disc, even though that u will see both symptomatic-mechanical improvement and of course CENTRANISATION...It is much more than this
