Lateral Epicondylalgia

[alophysio]

Hi Ginger,

Not lifted my dear but referenced.

I hadn't put the thorax or cervical assessment on there as there isn't a research base for it. This protocol can be used with confidence knowing there is research to back it up. In this environment where insurance companies don't understand that Level 3/4/5 evidence is still evidence based practice, it is helpful.

In reality, you would assess the articular, myofascial, neural, visceral and emotional systems of the patient for each region (Lee and Lee 2007).

However, knowing that you live in the articular system, you will still get neurophysiological effects and inhibition of the myofascial system from your mobilisations to the cervical spine. Kind of like a shotgun.

Still, as you know, i still would prefer your manual therapy to electrotherapy any day

Cheers
