Hi there,

I'm not a physiotherapist, I'm a kinesiologist who just graduated. Therefore I don't have too much experience. The physio that I work for is unfortunately for our clients, not that great.

I have one client who had a motor vehicle accident (MVA) 1.5 years ago, and due to that had to have a shoulder joint replacement. The surgery unfortunately led to some ulnar nerve dysfunction for which my client underwent nerve grafting which is now slowly getting better.

As I mentioned, unfortunately all the physio wants to do is put the client on IFC for his neck and his ulnar nerve (from elbow to wrist) and give him a hot pack. There is no other manual therapies involved (no mobility, traction, myofascial release). The client performs some shoulder exercises (pulleys, abduction/adduction using therabands) but that's about it. Since now I'm involved, I need to do something about this to make him better. Any advice? Please explain why I should use the technique as well so I can better understand. I really like to see progress and it's very sad to see some physios acting this way.

Thank you!!
