a new handout for the characteristics of correction

[BB]

Here is a handout I made. It is rough, but I thought I build handouts expanding on each characteristic and wanted to know people's thoughts on the content thus far.

Hi Cory

Sounds good so far; I wonder if the written sequence of the responses might be better as:
Warmth
Softening
Effortless
Surprising.

Not sure if it matters much, but this is the sequence that I noted with patients. Many 'get' the first two and do not always move towards the last two...
Just a thought

I like the content. Each section tells a bit of a story.

Cory I like the distinction you've been able to make between corrective and protective movement. A tough concept for most I think.

[Barrett Dorko]

Just a little background. I developed the criteria for the list after many years of watching and listening to people correct, and by "correction" I don't mean that they "healed" or even "gained relief." I mean that they were reducing the biomechanical consequences of the abnormal neurodynamic and displaying the physiologic changes that would be expected.

I use the words "persistently present" to describe their concurrence with ideomotion because they aren't always present, just almost always. In fact, these findings are more important and quite often easier to see than the movement. Without them, the movement seen is, to my mind, meaningless.

Most importantly, all four can be explained and their presence justified with good evidence.

Wonderful job Cory. This was something I never did.

Nice job Cory,

I have a sheet similar to this although not nearly as thorough, and I ripped it off mostly from Barrett, now I can steal yours;). It is one of my best "tools" if you can call it that. Everyone of my patients get a copy.

As I've already said, I think Cory's handout is excellent.
Though it seems I have an insatiable appetite for editing and tinkering with words, so I've ended up with my own version.

Cory,
It looks quite good. I find that these handouts are quite helpful as patients need a visual to embrace the concept.

I managed to get it all on one page.

[EricM]

Couldn't resist one last edit for style points and to correct few small typos. Looks good on 1 page Diane.

[Diane]

I've decided that last version is a keeper Eric. Thanks for the spiffy edits.

[BB]

Awesome. Thanks everyone. I'm ready to start handing this out now. Next I'll get to work on an expansion of each. Or, do you even feel this is needed? This actually might sum it up pretty well?

Also, here is Eric's last version in pdf.

[EricM]

Still didn't like everything in that last one, how's this now? Sorry everyone. Last time I promise!!

[EricM]

What I'd like to work on next Cory, is a handout that answers the question, when should I do my movements, and how much?

Hi Eric,

Jason already wrote that one.
