Bring Your Pain In-House Events

I happened to be on the ASE SEMINARS Facebook group the other day and came across a bunch of posts about in-house ‘Bring your pain’ events.

For more info on these events, go to the ASE Seminars group and type in “bring your pain” in the search bar and it will pull up the posts. There should be a few.

These events can be modified however you wish. I did them as bring your pain because I knew that whatever pain anyone came in I knew that with 90% of them I could reduce it right on the spot. That may not be for everyone, in which case you can do a pain assessment, performance assessment, injury assessment like Lev Furman does, etc.

Comment below with any questions!

Sciatica after 7 minutes

I have a new patient, 44 year old man, who has L sciatic pain, starting in his left gluteals and down his left leg upon standing or walking/running for 7 or more minutes, but all other positions or activities actually improves the pain: sitting, lying, weightlifting, biking, squatting, jump rope, sit ups, etc although it worsens after hours of sitting at work. On walks he often has to squat to get relief. Sensation is numb tingling to knife sharpness or electrical. He has had imaging diagnosing mild stenosis L5-S1 but nothing the doctors considered worth intervening for. Onset of sciatica was insidious 2 years ago with no clear initiating incident. He’s had PT for a year with no effect.

EXSTORE: He is very strong and my pressure is not that well calibrated I think, so at best I felt a little sponginess in the TFL and gluteus minimus/posterior gluteus medius. But it was unclear. He did have more restriction in SLR, about 60-70 degrees compared to 80-90 for right.

Only other thing going on...
