Anterior Points Flashcards

1
Q

Order of What to do:

A
  1. Diagnose somatic dysfunction
  2. Find a significant tender point
  3. Establish pain scale
  4. Wrap around the TP while monitoring
  5. Reduce pain at least 70% (pt comfy)
  6. Maintain position for 90 seconds (120 for ribs)
  7. Slowly passively return to neutral
  8. Reassess tender point
