A Study of Movement and Pain: a guide to the evaluation and treatment of mechanical joint dysfunction

Musculoskeletal pain is fixable. Functional movement and increased activity level are achievable at any age. We must fix the mechanical joint dysfunction and then build trunk control and power to be less vulnerable. We must educate about the perception of pain and recovery guidelines to monitor change. It takes practice to be able to actually fix the mechanical joint restrictions, but it is possible and necessary for resolving musculoskeletal pain. In this guide I will walk you through how we move, how mechanical joint dysfunction presents itself, how to fix it, and how to assure less vulnerability in the future. This guide is intended for the curious and/or frustrated practitioner and any person still in pain searching for the answers.
