The Importance of Diagnosis in Manual Therapy

I hold my own hands up and admit I gave ‘sciatica’ as a diagnosis commonly as a New Grad Physio.

Problem is, it isn’t even a diagnosis and more importantly than that, giving ‘sciatica’ as a diagnosis may be causing you to focus on the wrong problems, leading to poor treatment effects and ineffective patient outcomes.

In episode #17 learn why sciatica and other diagnoses like shoulder impingement, are poorly used and what you should focus your attention on instead.

This is a very different way of approaching the diagnosis of any injury but looking at your patient’s injury in this way will help you start getting better patient results.

Enjoy the show.
