Episode 371 - Deb Collins and Michael Dyck: A Story of Widespread, Debilitating Pain and Finally Full Recovery

In episode 371 we’re continuing with our series of patient experiences with their therapist. This week Deb Collins, of Montreal, Quebec Canada joins us with her therapist Michael Dyck of Active Solutions Physiotherapy. Deb shares her struggle with a wide range of pain after a motor vehicle accident and a long list of practitioners and attempts to try to resolve it without success, until she began working with Michael. This is a great illustration of the benefits of an attentive clinician and patient committed to the process. This week on MCF!

Episode 370 - Julia and Julie Marley: A Story of Bilateral Hip Pain and Inability to Walk and an Assessment Which Uncovered the Cause

In episode 370 we're joined by another patient, Julia, and her therapist, Julie Marley. Julia shares her story or progressively worsening bilateral hip pain and inability to walk. She explains what she had tried, how she struggled to even find a doctor with an available appointment. Her therapist, Julie, shares her examination of Julia and what tipped her off as to the most effective means of relief for Julia. Not all patients resolve from a movement and posture exercise and education program and this case highlights how a skilled clinician and a sound movement exam can still serve to be helpful in this situation.
