This community is about learning the basics, but a really important part of this community is also about taking your understanding of msk and orthopedic treatments to the next level.
One common thing we do when we first learn motor points is needle every inhibited muscle. While this is fine, the next level of assessment and treatment means not having to do this.
What other ways can you treat an inhibited muscle without actually needling or working on the muscle at all?
What courses will help set you up for a successful practice? Join Dr. Anthony Lombardi for a 20-minute webinar on how to find the training you need to succeed, followed by a LIVE LAB!

I have a patient who continues to have pain on the anterior part of her shoulder where the tendon crosses the acromion. Last treatment I did inline technique on the deltoid and 2 needle technique with high frequency at the coracoid process plus soft tissue work at the coracoid. Said it felt better after the treatment. I have treated all other areas related to the shoulder. It is better for a few days but pain usually sets back in. She is a personal trainer but has not been doing any shoulder exercises. Am I missing something, give it more time? I've treated her 7-8 times.
