Seeing as how some of my prior posts have been about why I think SLRs, pulleys, and pendulums should be eliminated from the PT world, I figured I would put this question out there:
Name 5 things you think should be retired from the PT profession/clinic?
It can be a technique, exercise, rationale, concept, term, piece of equipment, etc. Just off the top of my head for me would be:- ultrasound
- pulleys
- pendulums
- SLRs (for strengthening)
- "VMO training"
And if you listen to the Therapy Insiders podcast, we know that Gene will undoubtedly say "polos."
I think the best way to keep this conversation going is by using #PTretirementparty (or a different hashtag if you can think of a better one - #PTgraveyard #PT cemetery)
- Dennis, Modern Sports PT
edit: Dr. E's list
Keeping it Eclectic...
- Passive intervertebral motion testing
- Trigger point ischemic release
- Deep friction massage
- Provocation testing (that is not ligamentous)
- Pathoanatomical explanations for pain
So what are your 5? Comment below!
Interested in live cases where I apply this approach and integrate it with pain science, manual therapy, repeated motions, IASTM, with emphasis on patient education? Check out Modern Manual Therapy!
