@AdamMeakins In addition to your point , in physiotherapy practice there are countless techniques that simply cannot be put in a research paper especially manual therapy as not all therapists are on the same level of treatment and not all techniques can have objective measures .
@AdamMeakins Absolutely spot on with this...thus the other 2/3 of the evidence based puzzle. Your clinical experience and the individual in front of you.
When I first joined X, I followed therapists who discussed the lack of evidence behind pelvic health therapy.
I agreed with them. There was no evidence to support the delay in rehab after major surgery and birth. I now interview surgeons who consult rehab on the maternity unit.
