Why You Should Assess The Ribcage With Every Lower Back Pain Patient
from The New Grad Physio Podcast · host Andy Barker
You may have heard about physio's assessing the rib-cage as part of their patient assessments. This might seem complicated... But it's really not. If you can understand what the ribs do when we breathe in and out, and how this relates to movement at the lower back... You will be able to see how poor rib-cage movement can heavily influence lower back pain. This is really important because a failure to assess and treat a rib-cage problem might stop you getting your lower back pain patient pain-free or keeping their pain away once they have left your clinic.
