Today in clinic I treated one client which was a face to face session in the gym. Due to the new lockdown measures the gym was completely empty but due to clinical practices being able to stay open I was allowed access for my client. To begin the session I went through some movements with the client to see where he was at with Pain free motion upon completion of these movements we went into the gym and preformed a warm up with stretches followed by a session focusing on glute engagement and eccentrically loading the quads in order to try and rectify and anterior pelvic tilt. The session went well as the client managed to do all the movements without experiencing an onset of pain. Following the gym session, I reassessed movements and the client still complained of no pain. This gave me good confidence as I was able to plan a successful session putting load through the back that did not aggravate the facet dysfunction that the client is presenting with. Other than this I looked at an osteochondral lesion case study. I chose this case study because I had never heard of that pathology before. It was a good reminder that as a practitioner you always need to continue to develop your clinical knowledge and applications. I found this a good pathology to research as the rehab id very general and there are many ways that you can go about the phase 2 & 3 rehab.
