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!
I have a whole slew of new people with neurological stuff: Parkinson's, dystonia, neuropathies, cranial nerve pathologies, etc. I want to learn more about how to treat these conditions -- what resources (either here in locals or elsewhere) should I check out? If anyone in this group studied these in depth, I'd love to hear what made a difference for you.
@Exstoreman: in the MP Manual, I am assuming “cephalic” and “superior” are not used interchangeably. I am specifically looking at anterior glut med as it is one of the few MP that I still sometimes have to redirect the needle for.
The location is: find greater trochanter and progress in a cephalic direction moving superiorly 4 inches and posterior one inch. In this example, what is the difference between “cephalic” and “superior”?
Thank you!- Angela
Hi @Exstoreman , I have a male 24yo patient with left heel pain for 1 year. Has been diagnosed with calcaneal bursitis. It’s swollen and red. He plays high level soccer and trained 4x/week plus games on the weekend. The heel feels worse during and after games/training. Feels better for ice baths after games. He’s had physio, cortisone injection which did help but the problem came back. He’s also had the same problem on the right side it that has subsided and not returned after cortisone injection.
The shape of his heel may make him prone to more friction from his shoes . He’s got new orthotics which don’t seem to be helping.
He initially presented with bilateral psoas and GMin inhibition. Corrected with motor point acu and psoas pecking. Also addressed soleus and gastroc MP, inline technique along the Achilles, plus soft tissue work around the Achilles and calves. Also used Lectric washing soda compress to draw out the fluid.
We’ve had 7 sessions so far and he’s maybe 20% ...
