Hi sdkashif,
I'm sorry but you miss my point there.
I'm actually viewed certainly as a marginal PT but I do not really matter. But I'm still lost with your extensive and contradictory approach.
Plantar fascitis is not seen actually as an inflammatory state. There is many evidences and a simple examination do not show any heat or redness.
You're considering that I'm an “old age passive unrealistic and non-scientific” PT and the grand father will reply: “You're wrong guy, you leap too fast there!”
Neuro mobilizations may be made passively and actively. And I may add that I'm considered as a very “active” PT since I ever promote techniques and treatments where the patient is involved and understand the finality of it. I try to care, not simply to alleviate and wait to the next return of the patient.
You are promoting passive techniques that are evidently known as effective as placebo and I may conclude that you're the “passive” guy. I won't!
I do not really think that United States are on the top of the wave since the Best Knowledge come from Damasio (Portuguese), Flor (Deutschland), Wall/Melzack (GB/Canada), Butler (Australia), Rachamandran (India), Shacklock (Australia), Maitland (Australia), Moseley (Australia), Hodges (Australia), Coppieters (Holland)...
