I agree with you about the outcome. This is ultimately what the goal of
therapeutic intervention should be.
What I am saying though, is that those measures of our outcomes (crease in
rom, improvement in function) and are highly subjective and difficult to
assess as a result of One Specific treatment technique. This in turn is
what makes our techniques, difficult to gain an accuratement assessment or
picture of what changes or system we are treating. Therefore I think it is
IMPERATIVE for us as therapists to be as accurate as we can be when we
address a system so that we can measure the change and not say...." Well i'm
treating this segment...it may be an accupressure point, it may be a tender
point it may be a chapmans reflex, it may be a facet". If we treat the
system with a specific technique then we can better measure its change. I do
agree with you that just because there is not change with a specific
technique does not mean that there is not a problem, but rather, we as
therapists are the problem as we are not addressing the correct system.
