Dear Andy,
In my dim and distant musculoskeletal past, I too had good results with
Brian Mulligans MWMs - the patient also gets to do it themselves at home.
The patients seemed to experience immediate relief.
Also, my colleagues also advised me to always test the neck/posture and
ALWAYS test for ANT with upper limb tension tests (David Butler). I nearly
always found a discrepancy between the sides with ANT. I once treated a
bloke who had a 3 year history of tennis elbow that didn't respond to
injection or strapping so they sent him to us. He had a MAJOR ANT problem
on that side - then told me that he'd dislocated his same side shoulder 10
years previously. Very interesting.
I do agree that you have to consider all the possible causes though.
All the best,
Alison
