This is for therapist to help to keep your skills sharp: I will post a question and one possible answer to the question each week. This 2 min video will give symptoms and a summary of what you discovered after the assessment. What you need to do is decide which position to start the client in and the muscles or area you plan on addressing and maybe modalities. (quick treatment plan) there are many ways to make a cake so it would be interesting to hear your opinion. Saturday I will post one solution with reasoning and rationale. Have fun..
