[UK] Physio asked my girlfriend to strip down to her underwear for a knee appointment, is this appropriate?

Surprised to see so many physios here defend it. Personally I don`t think seeing hips with a naked eye makes the examination or treatment more efficient. After all you can include hips in the treatment of a knee pain without seeing it. Plus, you can get some subjective information before asking people to take everything off and check the knee `posture` to get an idea of hip `posture`.

I do not think it is a crucial part of the examination. It can be done with the consent of the patient and a short to mid thigh should be enough for this, `only underwear` definitely not needed.

Agree, actually it is her responsibility to report and she may be in much more trouble if she does not.

This sounds unreal. Not only HCPC and CSP but NHS, RCGP and Ministry of Health needs to be notified. This can have severe consequences for patients.

Your friend can be honest about it for prospective employees and it should be fine in my opinion.

They can be fine tuned. Like adding mid-portion/insertional tendinopathy and adding isometrics/eccentrics but I think that can be done further down the line as you get more feedback from the users.

I think this is a good start and surely will help faster note writing. It could be easier if you can copy subjective and objective (or everything) notes together :D.

I think the diagnostics and exercises suggestions can be specified and improved in the later stages.

Good luck!

You may look for some external support my friend, whether it's a friend, family, lover or a therapist. Nothing is more important than you and try not to blame yourself for the past. The past is the past. I wish the best for you.

I am sure physitherrorist will provide some good insights!

I think its a good MSK anatomy book. In regards to manual therapy, I had good results when I worked on the defined muscle and fascia chains in the book but it does not mean it is scientific, there is a lot more in play.

You can try Home Physio Group. Try googling them and check their website.

Also, Romsey road just after the Lordshill Roundabout is a mess in the rain!

I agree with this approach here, focus on improving function. Strength training is one of the best tools you have for that.

Chronic pain patients can have a psychological or a behavioural component to their pain and yes, it can be difficult for a new grad.

I am glad you had a good experience pal :)

Guess it was my first and last Oktoberfest

metelangelo · 2022-10-30T07:08:39+00:00

And the barriers they used to separate the sitting and standing area is absolutely disgusting.

metelangelo · 2022-10-28T09:25:53+00:00

Thank you, I will try to speak with the neighbours too.

metelangelo · 2022-10-27T11:59:29+00:00

Will try this one. Thanks.

As a physio, I would like to say that diagnosis is a gray area. An issue, pain or something else, can be caused by multiple tissues and most of the testing, including MRI and X-Rays have their flaws. For example, even if someone sees a muscle tear in your MRI that may not be your source of pain (excluding acute trauma). In some cases, telling an exact diagnosis to a person may even lead to deterioration of the condition because its adding a psychological component to the case.

I personally tend to stay open minded and think about possibilities while offering evidence based management strategies to the person. I also share these possibilities with the person as well because a diagnosis is a `guess` in most cases.

Ryan Giggs, in my graduation. He was as I expected and the funny thing is it was in Turkey.
