Today I had another online triage. The patient had not made any prior notes so therefore I went into the triage not knowing anything about what I was going to be dealing with. This would have phased me before but now I feel so much more confident in my clinical skills I was unphased. I feel I handled the call well even with the client presenting with lower back pain. Even though it was online I still managed to go through some active ROMs in the Lumbar and thoracic spine just to aid with clinical impression. Although it is hard to be 100% certain about a diagnosis over the phone the AROM helped narrow my thoughts and findings. My impression was a disc compression in the lumbar spine. For this I prescribed some stretches that aim to relive pain such as the cobra and knee hugs. This is an aim to get the client moving more and I have scheduled a other appointment in a 2 weeks time to check on progress.
