This guy is a pt trained in an osteopathic college, who has also studied Myofascial Release. He has the most awesome knowledge of anatomy, and understanding of all connections - muscle, nerve, tendon, spinal cord and cartilage of ANY medical person I have ever seen.
Every stretch and exercise is targeted to your diagnosis and customized to your ability. The reason & and physiology behind each is explained. Every appointment begins with a status check. When I tell him an exercise hurts or doesn't work or I found a good modification helistens and adapts. Written directions, with picture or videos, are provided for most stretches and exercises, concentrating on form, pace and duration.
He knew exactly which muscles or fascia to stretch, or which pressure points to touch, when my pain was acute.
We have been done with biweekly appointments since mid January, but still do monthly phone check-in.
He sees patients in a PT center, but almost exclusively for my pain mgmt doc and a few good orthos.
This is how PT should be - not a rote set of exercises, one size fits all, for any injury or complaint.
