Head trauma and related body tissue trama
Description
Often overlooked in patients with head injury is the secondary effects of the damage on the soft tissue of the body. Restrictions are caused both by the position of the body at impact, & as a result, compensatory and abnormal motor patterns used by the patient during and after the recovery process. It is often assumed that these motor patterns are neurologically caused due to the brain damage, however many of these abnormal & compensatory patterns can be altered through direct manipulation of the body tissues which constrict normal muscle alignment & function. This video describes in detail some of these issues & through a series of cases demonstrates the importance of this approach in the over all treatment program.
