2 Integrated Manual Therapy & Orthopedic Massage For Complicated Knee Conditions Today s manual therapist needs to have multiple skills in order to address a wide variety of complicated musculoskeletal pain conditions. Specialization in just one modality is becoming a thing of the past because of limited patient outcomes. This unique total system consists of orthopedic assessment, clinical reasoning, multidisciplinary and multimodality therapies, and precise corrective stretching and strengthening exercises. Participants will learn to integrate the skills of leading practitioners from the fields of massage therapy, physical therapy, athletic training, personal training, osteopathic and chiropractic to restore balance, posture, function and pain free living. Recent clinical studies will forever change the way manual therapists look at musculoskeletal pain, muscle-tendon strain pain, and adhesive capsular pain. This seminar will teach manual therapists to address ACL & PCL sprains, medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprains, lateral collateral ligament (LCL) sprains, medial and lateral meniscus injuries, patellar tendinosis, chondromalacia, bursitis, IT band friction syndrome, hamstring strains, posterior fixated fibular head pain, and posterior knee pain.corrective stretching and strengthening techniques will be also taught to keep the muscles balanced, and joints aligned for pain free living. Twelve Steps: 1. Client History 2. Assess Active Range of Motion 3. Assess Passive Range of Motion 4. Assess Resisted Range of Motion 5. Area Preparation 6. Myofascial Release/ Compression Broadening 7. Cross Fiber Gliding/Trigger Point Therapy 8. Multidirectional Friction 9. Pain Free Movement 10. Eccentric Scar Tissue Alignment 11. Stretching 12.

3 CLINICAL MASSAGE THERAPY A Structural Approach to Pain Management CHAPTER 3 Knee and Thigh Conditions Chapter Outline Twelve-Step Approach to Knee and Thigh Conditions Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Instability Patellar Tendinosis and Chondromalacia Quadriceps Protocol Plantaris Strain Chapter Outline Popliteus Strain Medial Meniscus Injury and Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Sprain Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome Lateral Meniscus Injury and Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) Sprain Learning Objectives Choose the appropriate massage modality or treatment protocol for each specific clinical knee condition Release all the forces surrounding the knee, and eliminate the underlying cause of the knee conditions before addressing the clinical symptoms Learning Objectives Determine if there is an imbalance among the muscle groups that surround the knee Restore pain-free knee joint normal range of motion Learning Objectives Differentiate between soft-tissue problems caused by: instability or hypermobility of the knee myofascial restrictions Muscle tendon tension muscle imbalance 1

4 Learning Objectives Differentiate between soft-tissue problems caused by: myoskeletal alignment problems trigger point tension strained muscle or sprained ligament fibers scar tissue Learning Objectives Teach the client self-care stretching and strengthening exercises (if needed) to perform at home to maintain muscle balance, joint alignment, and pain-free movement following therapy Precautionary Note Figure 3-1 ACL Stability Test. Do not work on a client with a recent injury (acute condition) exhibiting inflammation, heat, redness, or swelling. RICE therapy (rest, ice, compression, elevation) may be the appropriate treatment in this situation. Clients with a hypermobile knee due to excess ligament laxity should consult with their physician. If in doubt, refer out! Figure 3-2 PCL Stability Test. Figure 3-28 MCL/Medial Meniscus Eccentric Force. 2

This can be corrected by lengthening the biceps femoris and performing a simple myoskeletal alignment technique. Figure 2-80 Evaluate External Tibial Rotation.

Stretching (Client Self-Care) Goal: for the client to perform stretches demonstrated by you to create normal range of motion in shortened or contracted muscle groups. 10

13 Precautionary Note Figure 3-39 Quadriceps Stretch. Stretching is not suggested for the muscle groups around a hypermobile joint. Strengthening would be more appropriate to stabilize any joint that has excessive movement due to ligamentous laxity. Figure 3-42 Gluteus Maximus Lateral Fibers Stretch Figure 3-43 TFL Stretch.
