Today in clinic I treated two clients. The first was a lower back pathology that I suspected to be facet joint dysfunction. Prior to this client I was nervous as it was my first client face to face with a back pathology and the spine is not my strongest subject. Looking back at the session I feel like I did a very good thorough job. I went through all the procedures and gave good rationale as to why I was doing each part of the assessment. The conclusion of the appointment is that although the client is having a slight issue with his facet joint this could be through an anteriorly tilted pelvis and underactive glutes and hamstring tightness, this would be a reason as to why the client is struggling so much with their back. One thing I need to look over is the slump test, I know the principles as to why it performed but I forgot the order of the test itself. For my second client I was accessing the shoulder. The Clinical impression it was giving me was that of a reactive supraspinatus tendinopathy. This was drawn from the movements the gave the client pain and the negative speeds and yourgersons that ruled out biceps tendinopathy.
