Manual Therapy and the SLP 

“My approach to manual therapy elevates patient perspectives and preferences to a place of equal weighting with the clinician’s (me) experience applying the evidence and the actual published evidence. This power-sharing is an expectation of our practice and the EBM, however, is that reflected in your practice? We must start with the evidence, but how we move from that point into intervention takes many different shapes.”

I’ve written another article for the NiceSpeechLady website, this one dealing with the specificity (or lack of) using the manual therapy interventions that I teach and targeting specific diagnoses. I also cover a lot of real estate with regards to an evidence-based practice model and manual therapy interventions. I do hope you will give it a read as well as spend some time exploring Wilson Nice’s website. She provides a huge amount of free resources and information for the SLP.

You can read the article here.
