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?

Spring is coming… eventually. And when it does, runners will start emerging again, not just the die-hards who have been braving the cold all winter. I treat a whole spectrum of runners in clinic, from Ironman athletes to weekend joggers and everything in between. This webinar is an absolute goldmine, and I hope you get as much out of it as I have.
@Exstoreman I now have several patients with L4-L5 herniation and drop foot and/or leg-foot nerve pain. Some of them are making good progress, others not so much.
Should I be doing soft tissue work around L4-L5 and/or elsewhere?
And you previously mentioned there's a way to use gua sha effectively for this (since I have hand/wrist injury), can you describe that?
