PT tip of the month
SO . . . WHICH TREATMENT?
Last month I demonstrated how to differentiate between an elevated / subluxed 1st rib and an upper trapezius trigger point.
This month is a demonstration of the treatment for Upper Trapezius trigger point vs 1st rib dysfunction.

Questions from the Mail Room
|
Q: Tom, Is it advisable to take the MET courses out of order? I cannot make it to MET 1, but would very much like to take MET 2 this year.
Sarah, PT
A: Hi Sarah, no worries. You can take M2 before M1. You will want to take M1 only because when it comes to the treatment sequence, even if the patient has a neck / shoulder issue, you want to correct pelvic, sacral, lumbar issues first. This will help make the neck shoulder corrections even more fast and efficient. Lots of people take M2 prior to M1, but they almost always sign right up for M1.

Our Seminars
For those of you who have taken Muscle Energy courses before and are still struggling... Or if you have never taken a Muscle Energy course because you heard it was too hard... These are the courses for you.
Muscle Energy Technique is one of the most effective and valuable manual techniques for the identification and correction of somatic asymmetry and hypomobility. These techniques can be used immediately to find and correct the causes of all types of pain. These are not cover up procedures, but rather techniques that cure the problem with dramatic results.
Unlike manipulative therapies, which presume joints are stuck out of place by some physiologic glue, the beauty of Muscle Energy is that it works through an evidence-based neuro physiologic principle. And that is the joints are held out of place by muscles that have too much tone.
In his 33 years of clinical practice, Tom Ockler P.T. has had extensive teaching experience throughout the United States, Canada, England and Australia.
As a teacher, Tom has earned the nickname "The Patch Adams of Physical Therapy" due to his unique style of injecting humor into complicated subjects. He has developed teaching methods that explain very complicated subjects in easily understandable formats. His five teaching manuals have been hailed by students as the "most user-friendly and useful Muscle Energy manuals ever."
