My wife just suffered an open fracture due to a workplace accident.
What precautions should I keep in mind during treatment once she’s been helped and released from hospital?
I’ll be going through what I usually do in such cases:
- restore function to local muscles
- Evil Bone Water and TDP
- perfusion
- soft tissue work
My concern is whether there’s an appropriate timeline for any of these. For example, is pain relief and hemodynamics/fluid dynamics a main focus early while avoiding motor points?
Is there a waiting period before doing any motor points?
Etc.
TIA!

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.
Male patient has Chronic LBP for years. Goes down to the hamstrings. Complains that hamstring is very tight. Had steroids shots 1 month ago. Helped only a bit. unstable gait. Cannot walk for too long, when get up from laying down for too long, back hurts than gets better. Driving his truck feels good, so seating seems ok. LT and RT SLR are only 10 degrees. More than that hurts the left side only. LT Gluteus minimums weak. No Health issue except had gout 4 years ago, and is currently taking prescribed gout medicine, but he said he will stop the medicine next month. Physician thinks will no longer be necessary. What would you recommend for first visit and second or follow up treatment??
Is there an equivalent to a sural nerve release for the upper body?
I can get back 20-30 degrees in straight leg raise with this generally.
Would the upper body equivalent release areas contributing to frozen shoulder? Or serratus area?
Been a curious question on my mind.
