TAPING
We need to keep exploring
and experimenting with ways
to achieve better outcomes
with our patients.
when tape is applied. More important than having strict protocols, testing and retesting the affected muscle or joint is crucial.
Watch this video on the pre and posttaping of a postsurgical
groin avulsion. This was the third attempt at correcting the
dysfunctional squat pattern (the first two "usual techniques"
made the squat pattern worse). If test and retest hadn't been
applied here, we would never have seen such a dramatic result
and a happy patient.
In conclusion, keep in mind what one of my favorite people,
Chris Frankel, PhD(c) (and the smartest person in fitness) has
been known to say, "All programming is wrong. Some is better
than others." We need to keep exploring and experimenting
with ways to achieve better outcomes with our patients. Move
well. Be well.
