Thanks Helen. First, you are right to be apprehensive about this client. I would have the same reaction. Being apprehensive would keep you out of trouble. So, probably there are many contraindications: cancer, pacemaker, stroke...And also, you need to consider your knowledge of those conditions, your ability to assess those condition. For example, some treatment of a stroke will be with a medication that make the book thinner. If they take this medication, then your treatment might be different. So, t here are many layers of these. So, I think on this occasion, it might be too early for you to treat this client. But you might be ready with more knowledge later on in your journey. Hope that this helps... Dror
Yes! For every group of technique, you need to do it at least once. So, stretching/mobilisation at least once. More about it in the mock practical exam.
Are you having trouble writing a literature review? I would advise you to contact the specialists at service literature review with this question. They will help you with writing a competent work, taking into account all the requirements.
Hi Roxy, Good question...You don't know for sure, but through the depth that you work, you can estimate when you are working on Gastroc, soleus or Tibialis Posterior. Also, if aiming to work on Tibialis Posterior (which is the deepest muscle in that area), you have to consider that you also massaging the more superficial muscles. So, in short: you really don't know 100%.
Thanks so much. This really resonates with me and I had already cancelled the appointment. Thank you, greatly appreciate the advice
