@CmanCorporations You don't want your supraspinatus rubbing on anything. That constant friction will lead to micro-tears, possible bone spurring, and more impingement. Thumbs down should not be performed on the impingement population until periscapular strength and scapular control has been esta...
I apologize for the flip comment concerning "crappy manipulations", but I have seen horror stories walk into my office post chiro manipulations, and there attempts to treat post-operative injuries. I always say, " Stay in your lane". Yes, I do manips, but that is not end all for proper return of joint mobility and function. Enough rhetoric...I understand your point and truly respect it. Have a good day, bellmore01
I'm glad you are in the health professional, so have a different perspective about the two different professionals. I was being very truthful when I say the Chiro's are Exercise/Rehabilitation specialist...it's true.
I will always support my profession and practitioners. I am definitely knowledgeable enough and well qualified to discuss when I see BS. I apologize if my original comment came off as uninformed.
I as a PT know that we do the some of the same manual techniques, plus MORE that they don't practice. I too know of a few PT's that may visit a Chiro (and vice-versa), but I am not one. I have not drank the Kool-aid, and I never will.
I manipulated my own neck in the upper cervical region and did some light traction to the metatarsal joints in anticipation of responding to your comment. Yes, I am a PT and I have been practicing for 10 years with tons of experience in orthopedic manual physical therapy, muscle energy techniques, strain-counter strain, HVLA joint manipulations, sports medicine rehabilitation...etc. So, I know what Chiro's do and I definitely know what PT's do.
