A day in the clinic can bring a variety of pieces to consider, and it is important for you as a practitioner to know your scope of practice and what issues may be better addressed by a practitioner in a different specialty. In addition, it is always good to ask about past injuries when taking a client’s history as you never know when old injuries are at the root cause of new pain. 

In today’s podcast episode, Lynn talks about 6 clients she saw in the clinic recently. She shares about what came up in each client session, including the complaints her clients had, the techniques she used in her assessments, and her recommendations for treatment.

In her day in the clinic, Lynn worked with 6 clients to address a variety of issues: 

• A client who had a stoma due to a large intestine removal
• A bodyworker who was having consistent SIJ pain
• A client who reported pain with side lying and sleeping
• A client who had just had the hardware removed from bunion surgery and was experiencing bladder issues
• A pregnant client who was at 14 weeks and who wanted Lynn to hold space for her baby and and support for her feminine energy
• A client who was experiencing insertional pain with intercourse

Lynn used local listening techniques, worked with scar tissue, addressed postpartum patterns, supported trauma release, connected clients with other practitioners, and supported ligament and tissue releases all in a day’s work. Listen in to hear the details of each client’s story and what Lynn did to get to the source of the pain and dysfunction.
