As many of you know, I have been using repeated motions to treat any "sciatic nerve" pain that I've had in the last year. I rarely ever notice any discomfort in the area, and it dissipates immediately with 10 repetitions of sideglides or lumbar extensions. While studying for the OCS last week, I thought I'd test my Active SLR bilaterally to see the difference due to my history of "nerve pain" on that side. There was a difference present and thought it would be interesting to have a video showing how what appears to be "flexibility deficits" can actually be secondary to neural tension, and thus, easily changed. Check out the video below to see a quick assessment and treatment with rapid changes. Normally, an evaluation would be much more thorough, but this is a quick view of how to break down the Multi-Segmental Flexion test and view rapid changes.

The effects of repeated motion are pretty amazing in orthopedic practice. Following the Mckenzie method of thinking and using directional preference to treat patient's, in my opinion if very effective! I have seen a few cases in which repeated motions & directional preference apply to the extremities as well (specially in non-traumatic cases), have you guys used this principle in extremity care?
