Leslie,
Thanx for putting the techniques with these names. I agree with you on your
last sentence.... Uni is where you learn the basics, and where everything
starts. However, I am just critical in that I believe one should offer
students the opportunity to look beyond their work at uni, and provide with
at least the option of learning different concepts apart from Maitland.
Isn't it weird that good techniques such as Mulligans, Mckenzie and a lot of
muscle energy techniques are from people who come from New Zealand??!! Is it
that there training offers them more incentive to think for themselves?? Or
is it something that they are eating(laugh!)?? My boss is a kiwi (ie, New
Zealander) and he brags on and on about how great Kiwi Physiotherapists
are... and I am starting to believe him as well!!
Physiotherapy has come a long way and everybody around the world has
contributed to its growth, and it is up to us to continue this growth into
the future!!
