Hi Everyone.
On my musculo prac I had a lovely 78yr old lady who came in with her main initial Ax findings including: hypomobility of her Lx spine L2-L5 with referral of pins and needles in her buttock and down her posterior thigh. Her aggravating factors were bending over forward and also having to push her grocery trolley. I treated her for the full 4 weeks of my placement- treatment initial included mobilizations to her lower Lx spine and STM to her erector spinae muscle group. In the final couple of sessions with her we started doing some lumbopelvic stability exercises as well. Throughout the course of treatment with her she was able to get increasing more movement in her Lx spine as well as her referred pins and needles and pain subsiding down her leg. For me, it was really great to see progress as a direct result of my treatment.
Thanks- Hope everyone enjoys there rural placements :)

Yeah Deb, that's what it is all about.
Even though these types of cases do not lead to a lot of reflection - other than a glow of satisfaction - and there isn't questions about Rx technique, I contend that this kind of reflection is very necessary - we need to see some good results and celebrate our victories to keep ourselves motivated to worry away at the things that are less straightforward.
