Thinking outside the BOX!
hey guys. Hope you are all well. I have been on neuro prac for the past four weeks and i wanted to share one particular experience with you. A patient that I was treating who had recently suffered a stroke also presented with marked kyphoscoliosis. She described that it was an effort to breath but that she had be accustomed to it has it was a long term issue. Initially, we were a bit skeptical about how much we could "touch" her spine but after we discussed it with our supervisor she gave us the all clear. We performed some central key point tx extension techniques over the next few days and remarkably the patient said that her breathing had become less effortful. The best part of it was however, that objectively we had made a difference too! Sats rose from 84-88% RA to 94-96% RA. WOW!!!!! It was so rewarding to see your treatment make a difference. It was also very rewarding knowing that we had thought outside the "stroke" box and were able to make a difference to the patients QOL! Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience and been able to use our knowledge to treat outside the area your currently treating in!
