23.01.2022 MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUES (METs) - INTRODUCTION Manual therapists usually have a toolbox of various techniques at their disposal to help release and relax musc...les, which will then assist the clients body to promote the healing mechanisms. METs, first described by Mitchell in 1948, are one such tool that if used correctly can have a major influence on the clients well-being. METs are unique in their application in that the client provides the initial effort and the practitioner just facilitates the process. The primary force comes from the contraction of the clients soft tissues (muscles), which is then utilized to assist and correct the presenting musculoskeletal dysfunction. This treatment method is generally classified as a direct form of technique as opposed to indirect, since the use of muscular effort is from a controlled position, in a specific direction, and against a distant counterforce that is usually offered by the therapist. Benefits of METs Acording to John Gobbons one of the benefits of METs is their use in normalizing joint range, rather than in improving flexibility. This might sound counterintuitive. However what he is saying is if, for example, your client cannot rotate their neck (cervical spine) to the right as far as they can to the left, they have a restriction of the cervical spine in a right rotation. The normal rotational range of the cervical spine is 80 degrees, but lets say the client can only rotate 70 degrees to the right. This is where METs come in. After an MET has been employed on the tight restrictive muscles, hopefully the cervical spine will then be capable of rotating to 80 degrees - the patient has made all the effort and you, the practitioner, have encouraged the cervical spine into further right rotation. You have now improved the joint range to normal. This is not stretching in the strictest sense - even though the overall flexibility has been improved, it is only to the point of achieving what is considered to be a normal joint range. Depending on the context and the type of MET employed, the objectives of this treatment can include: Restoring normal tone in hypertonic muscles Strengthening weak muscles Preparing muscles for subsequent stretching Increasing joint mobility Restoring Normal Tone in Hypertonic Muscles Through the simple process of METs, we as manual therapists try to achieve a relaxation in the hypertonic shortened muscles. If we think of a joint as being limited in its ROM, then through the initial identification of the hypertonic structures, we can employ the techniques to help achieve normality in the tissues. Certain types of massage therapy can also help us achieve this relaxation effect, and generally an MET is applied in conjunction with massage therapy. Strengthening Weak Muscles METs can be used in the strengthening of weak or even flaccid muscles, as the clients are asked to contract the muscles prior to the lengthening process. The therapist should be able to modify the MET by asking the client to contract the muscle that has been classiffied as weak, against a resistance applied by the therapist (isometric contraction), the timing of which can be varied. For example, the patient can be asked to resist the movement using approximately 2030% of their maximum capability for 515 seconds. They are then asked to repeat the process five to eight times, resting for 1015 seconds between repetitions. The clients performance can be noted and improved over time. Preparing Muscles for Subsequent Stretching In certain circumstances, what sport your client participates in will be determined by what ROM they have at their joints. Everybody can improve their flexibility, and METs can be used to help achieve this goal. Remember that the focus of METs is to try to improve the normal ROM of a joint. If you want to improve the clients flexibility past the point of normal, a more aggressive MET approach might be recommended. This could be in the form of asking the client to contract a bit firmer than the standard 1020% of the muscles capability. For example, we can ask the client to contract using, say, 4070% of the muscles capability. This increased contraction will help stimulate more motor units to fire, in turn causing an increased stimulation of the Golgi tendon organ (GTO). This will then have the effect of relaxing more of the muscle, allowing it to be lengthened even further. Either way, once an MET has been incorporated into the treatment plan, a flexibility program can follow. Increasing Joint Mobility One of my favorite sayings when I teach muscle testing courses is: A stiff joint can become a tight muscle, and a tight muscle can become a stiff joint. When you use an MET correctly, it is one of the best ways to improve the mobility of the joint, even though you are relaxing the muscles initially. The focus of the MET is to get the client to contract the muscles; this subsequently causes a relaxation period, allowing a greater ROM to be achieved within that specific joint.

22.01.2022 HIP LIGAMENTS AND MUSCLE IMBALANCE The hip joint is strengthen by three capsular ligaments: the iliofermoral ligament and the pubofemoral ligament are on the ...anterior aspect of the joint, while the ischiofemoral ligament is on the posterior aspect. As the hip is flexed, all three ligaments relax. However, in extension all three ligaments are tight, with the inferior band of the iliofemoral ligament being placed under greatest tension as it runs almost vertically. It is this ligamentous band which limits posterior tilt of the pelvis. During adduction, it is the turn of the superior band of the iliofemoral ligament to become tighter while the pubofemoral ligament and ischiofemoral ligament relax. In abduction the opposite occurs. In lateral rotation both the iliofemoral ligament and pubofermoral ligament are taut, while medial in rotation the ischiofemoral ligament tightens. SCREENING EXAMINATION Hip conditions may refer pain anywhere within the L3 dermatome, over the front of the thigh and down to the knee. Initial observation includes resting position, muscle wasting, leg length and gait. Functional activities may also be revealing. Lying in bed with the affected side uppermost (hip adduction and medial rotation) places a stretch over the iliotibial band (ITB) and lengthens the posterior portion of the gluteus medius. This may be a consideration in ITB syndrome and for muscle imbalance over the hip. MUSCLE IMBALANCE AROUND THE HIP In the hip region, the Thomas test and the Ober manoeuvre are used to assess for muscle tightness of the hip flexors (rectus fermoris and iliopsoas) and hip abductors (TFL and ITB). Inner range holding ability of the gluteus medius is assessed with side-lying hip abduction, and of the gluteus maximus with the prone-lying hip extension movement.

21.01.2022 TIGHT HIP FLEXORS CAN GIVE YOU A HEADACHE Can tight hip flexor muscles cause a headache? Certainly, tight myofascial tissue in one region of the body can c...ause pain and/or dysfunction locally, but as most manual therapists know, it can also cause pain and dysfunction elsewhere in the body. There are many ways that a problem in one region of the body can affect another distant region of the body, including myofascial meridian lines of tension and myofascial trigger point referral. But another way is through mechanical kinematic chains of myofascial pulls that result in postural distortion compensation patterns. So, with this in mind, lets examine the kinematic chain of elements that can lead from tight hip flexor musculature to headaches. A kinematic chain of elements simply refers to the links in a chain that are interconnected that involve movement. So, for example, the movement of the lower extremity involves the following kinematic links: foot, leg, thigh, and pelvis. Similarly, the movement links of the upper extremity are the: hand, forearm, arm, and shoulder girdle. And the kinematic links of the axial body are the: pelvis, lumbar spine, thoracic spine, cervical spine, and head. The concept is that motion and posture at one link of the chain affects motion and posture at the other links along the chain. So, here is how it is happening: Tight hip flexor musculature causes excessive anterior tilt of the pelvis, which causes hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine, which causes hyperkyphosis of the thoracic spine, which causes hypolordosis of the lower to middle cervical spine with hyperlordosis (hyperextension) of the head at the atlanto-occipital joint, which causes forward head carriage, which causes tight posterior neck muscles, which causes a headache. CONCLUSION When working as a manual therapist, it is necessary not only have excellent hands-on skills, but also understand how the human body functions mechanically and learn to recognize patterns of mechanics and pathomechanics that travel through the body.

21.01.2022 POSTURAL AND PHASIC MUSCLES Its often accepted that muscles that have a stabilizing function (postural) have a tendency to shorten when stressed, and other m...uscles that play a more active/moving role (phasic) have a tendency to lengthen and become inhibited. The muscles that tend to shorten have a primary postural role. However, there are some exceptions to the rule that certain muscles follow the pattern of becoming shortened while others become lengthened some muscles are capable of modifying their structure. For example, certain authors suggest that the scalenes are postural in nature and some suggest that they are phasic. We know that, depending on what dysfunction is present within the muscle framework, on specific testing one can find the scalenes to be held in a shortened position and tight, but sometimes when they are tested they can be found to be lengthened and weakened. There is a distinction between postural and phasic muscles; however, many muscles can display characteristics of both and contain a mixture of Type I and Type II fibres. The hamstring muscles, for example, have a postural stabilizing function, yet are polyarticular (cross more than one joint) and are notoriously prone to shortening. Postural Muscles Also known as tonic muscles, these muscles have an antigravity role and are therefore heavily involved in the maintenance of posture. Slow-twitch fibres are more suited to maintaining posture; they are capable of sustained contraction and generally become shortened and subsequently tight. Postural muscles are slow-twitch dominant, due to their resistance to fatigue, and are innervated by a smaller motor neuron. They therefore have a lower excitability threshold, which means the nerve impulse will reach the postural muscle before the phasic muscle. With this sequence of innervation, the postural muscle will inhibit the phasic (antagonist) muscle, thus reducing its contractile potential and activation. When your muscles are placed under faulty or repetitive loading, the postural muscles will shorten and the phasic muscles will weaken. This consequently alters their length-tension relationship, which will directly affect posture, as the surrounding muscles displace the soft tissues and the skeletal system. Phasic Muscles Movement is the main function of phasic muscles. These muscles are often relatively more superficial than postural muscles and tend to span several joints (polyarticular). They are composed of predominantly fast-twitch Type II fibres and are under voluntary reflex control. A tight muscle often results in inhibition of the phasic muscle, whose function becomes weakened as a result. The relationship between a tightness-prone muscle and its weakness-prone muscle is one way. As the tightness-prone muscle becomes tighter and subsequently stronger, this causes an inhibition of the weakness-prone muscle, resulting in its lengthening and consequent weakening.

15.01.2022 CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME AND PHALENS TEST What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which the median nerve, a major nerve in the... upper extremity that travels down the arm and enters the hand through a very small gap called carpal tunnel located in the central part of the wrist, gets compressed in the carpal tunnel. This causes irritation of the nerve leading to tingling or pain. Typically, this disease affects the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Athletes participating in golf, bowling and tennis are generally affected with carpal tunnel syndrome though the most common cause remains keyboarding activity. The main cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is pressure on the median nerve, which may occur due to swelling or any other injury resulting in narrowing of the size of the carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness, weakness, pain, or tingling in the hand or fingers. Some individuals experience pain in the arm between their elbow and hand. Carpal tunnel syndrome is first treated by conservative method. The general treatment includes complete rest for the wrist by wearing a splint. Cold therapy helps a lot to relieve the swelling and inflammation. Physiotherapy for carpal tunnel syndrome is important in speeding up the healing process and to get the optimal results. Physiotherapy also decreases the likelihood of recurrences in the future. Physiotherapy may include: Soft tissue massage Electrotherapy Joint mobilization Heat and ice treatments Bracing or splinting Exercises to improve strength and flexibility Activity modification and training Appropriate plan for return to activity PHALENS TEST This test for CTS or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is also known as wrist-flexion test. During the test which is known as Phalens Test, the patient is asked to flex his wrist for about 60 seconds and ask to report all the symptoms patient experiences. This CTS test has been described in several positions. G.A. Phalen reported in the year 1966 that when the patient held his forearm vertically and let his wrist drop at 90 degrees. Alternately, the wrist can be made to hang down while the arm is held horizontally. Another way of performing this test is to hold both the wrists at 90 degrees flexion against each other with the elbows being flexed too. The fingers will also be pointing in the patients direction. The Reverse Phalens test is one where the patient is made to hold their wrist and fingers, which are fully extended and experiences symptoms which indicate or confirm the diagnosis of CTS or carpal tunnel syndrome.

08.01.2022 DEEP PELVIC PAIN? IT CAN BE PSOAS MUSCLE TENSION The psoas muscle may be the most important muscle in your body. Without this essential muscle group you would...nt even be able to get out of the bed in the morning! In fact, whether you run, bike, dance, practice yoga, or just hang out on your couch, your psoas muscles are involved. Thats because your psoas muscles are the primary connectors between your torso and your legs. They affect your posture and help to stabilize your spine. The psoas muscles are made of both slow and fast twitching muscles. Because they are major flexors, weak psoas muscles can cause many of the surrounding muscles to compensate and become overused. That is why a tight or overstretched psoas muscle could be the cause of many or your aches and pains, including low back and pelvic pain. Structurally, your psoas muscles are the deepest muscles in your core. They attach from your 12th thoracic vertebrae to your 5 lumbar vertebrae, through your pelvis and then finally attach to your femurs. In fact, they are the only muscles that connect your spine to your legs. Your psoas muscles allow you to bend your hips and legs towards your chest, for example when you are going up stairs. They also help to move your leg forward when you walk or run. Your psoas muscles are the muscles that flex your trunk forward when bend over to pick up something from the floor. They also stabilize your trunk and spine during movement and sitting. The psoas muscles support your internal organs and work like hydraulic pumps allowing blood and lymph to be pushed in and out of your cells. During prolonged periods of stress, your psoas is constantly contracted. The same contraction occurs when you: Sit for long periods of time Engage in excessive running or walking Sleep in the fetal position Do a lot of sit-ups

05.01.2022 SUBSCAPULARIS TENDINITIS: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, TREATMENT Subscapularis muscle is a large triangular-shaped muscle which fills the subscapular fossa.The term "sub...scapularis" means under (sub) the scapula (the wingbone). The subscapularis muscle originates beneath the scapula. It is a part of the Rotator Cuff muscle group. It is the largest and the strongest muscle in this group. The subscapularis muscle is the most-used muscle in the shoulder. CAUSES Subscapularis Tendinitis usually occurs due to a direct trauma to the arm like that in a fall on the shoulders or arm or as a result of a sporting injury. A rupture of the tendon may also occur after a surgical procedure such as a shoulder replacement surgery in which the subscapularis tendon is removed and repaired. SYMPTOMS Some of the symptoms of Subscapularis Tendinitis are pain with any type of movement of the shoulder, especially overhead motions. Pain may also be induced with inward motion of the arms. In few cases pain is observed during sleep and early morning. Pain is often caused by hyperextension of shoulder joint during sleep resulting in hyperextension of rotator cuff and subscapularis tendon. The subscapular tendon inflammation is mild to moderate and responds to treatment. TREATMENT The treatment of subscapular tendinitis depends on severity of the inflammation. Mild to moderate inflammation of the subscapular tendon is treated by resting and initially with ice to reduce pain and inflammation. Massage and proper exercise will help the tendon and the muscle to recover. EXERCISE Performing isometric exercises that target the subscapularis involves contracting the muscle for five to 10 seconds at a time without moving your shoulder joint considerably. Start on your back with your elbow about 6 inches away from your side and flexed to 90 degrees, so your forearm points upward. Place a large book by your hip on the same side. Inwardly rotate your shoulder, placing your hand on top of the book, and press downward for five to 10 seconds. Relax briefly, then move your elbow about 3 inches farther away from your side and repeat the same exercise. Perform the exercise twice more -- once with your upper arm pointed away from your shoulder and once with your elbow even with your ear. Repeat the series with your opposite arm.

01.01.2022 WHY DO YOU HAVE WEAK GLUTES? ANATOMY The three gluteal muscles are located in the buttock region, deep to the surronding adipose tissue. The large, superficia...l gluteus maximus is the most posterior of the group and has fibers that run diagonally across the buttock. The gluteus medius is located on the laterl side of the hip and is also superficial, except for the posterior portion which is deep to the maximus. Both the glutes maximus and medius are strong extensors and abductors of the hip. With its covergent fibers that pull the femur in multiple directions, the gluteus medius could be thought of as the deltoid muscle of the coxal joit. The gluteus minimus lies deep to the gluteus medius and is inaccessible, however its dense fibers can be felt beneath the medius. Because it attaches to the anterior surface of the greater trochanter, the gluteus mnimus flexes and medially rotates the hip, thus performing the opposite actions of the gluteus maximus. WHEN DO YOU USE YOUR GLUTES? You use glutes when you climb stairs, when you run, go cycling, swimming and skating. You use glutes when you dance especially latin dancing (there are lots of latera rotation of the hip). WHY ARE YOUR GLUTES WEAK? Your glutes may be weak for a number of reasons since its such a complicated goup of muscles responsible for doing so much. However, I would like to point out a few reasons: 1. ASYMMETRY Weather though sports of habits, humans have a good and a bad side when it comes to certain muscle groups. If you play soccer and you prefere to kick with your right leg, which means you will be standing on your left leg, you are likely to have your left glute musculature stronger than the right, even if your dominant leg is your right leg. That means that your good side could accutally be the weaker side. Another way an asymmetry can develop is through habits, including something as simple as standing. Stand long enough, and you will inevitably shift your weight to one side for relief, we usually do this to one side more than the other. Another example would be only crossing one leg over the other when you sit; these both have the potential to create asymmetries which may lead to more severe imbalances. 2. INACTIVITY Unlike the other muscle groups that get used throughout normal life, for example, the quadriceps when you go from sitting to standing or the abdominals when you sit up in bed, the glutes typically get left behind. The problem is two-fold however because we are also sitting on them for hours on end. So not only are they not being used, but our brains are forgetting how to communicate with them as they atrophy in our office chairs. 3. INJURY If you have ever suffered a lower-body injury that impacted how you walk or even stand, it most likely caused glute inhibition. Broken toe, torn groin, back injury? All of these will create compensatory movement patterns while the injury heals, but we never spend time undoing those patterns leading to problems down the road. SYMPTOMS OF WEAK GLUTES You may feel soreness or tightness in the buttocks, pain in the hips, tight hip flexors, low back pain, tight hamstrings, knee pain, or even pelvic instability. Basically, the glutes can present a number of problems because of their many roles! We severely take our glutes for granted because of this. From walking and running, going up and down stairs, or anything having to do with rotation, weakness can manifest in many different areas. However, the biggest issue stemming from weak glute muscles is posture. If your glutes are weak you are more likely to have less control over the positioning of your pelvis. If your hips are too tilted this will cause issues up and downstream, pain at the knee or ankles as well as the back, shoulder, and neck. Fix the glutes, align the pelvis and many problems go away on their own. Reference: David Schroer, Glute Week, Andrew Biel, Trail Guide to the Body.
