Nerves, knowledge and theratube - With David Butler

Theratube is great stuff, it comes in many colours and strengths and there are many uses when it comes to a bit of graded exercise. But it is also useful to help explain problems in peripheral nerves linked to changes in sensitivity and movement. Theratube can be used in a powerful, multimedia demonstration that can take the mostly hidden peripheral nerves and make them real for patients. Here’s a quick video with some key ideas and a demonstration for the upper limb.

This is an excellent way to teach Neurodynamics to patients and students!!!

[@nancyi9645]

Thanks. Just found you. Have been repeating the phrase Motion is lotion. For decades! Where was the Internet 30 years ago! Can’t wait to see more of your tapes

[@drcarriesnaychuk]

This is really great! Thank-you for posting - will definitely be using this with patients!

[@debracrookshanks6979]

Great stuff David. Thank you.

[@drdanieledwards1830]

Thank you for sharing this demonstration! Very helpful for patient education!

[@daltonmyoskeletal]

Love it David...great visual. Will demo it to students.

PS this is the best explanation & approach I have seen in decades! Powerful tool as when our patients and employees understand their injury, the faster their outcomes and better their function. #JESleeth Canada @LuminoHealth or @TelusHealth

This makes a lot of sense. I can see that as soon as you straighten your arm, the nerve is already at full stretch.
I suffered a bi-lateral nerve injury in a yoga class three months ago. Our teacher had us in warrior pose (both arms fully stretched out) and got a partner on either side to traction our arms to 'improve the stretch'. I started to get tingling pain in my hands almost immediately afterwards, then intense shoulder pain an hour or two after the class. I've had pain every day since then - that was three months ago. The only thing that has worked has been amitryptiline and gabapentan - thank god for those drugs.
This really makes me think I should consider taking legal action against the teacher.

I totally agree...being an instructor myself there are many things wrong with her approach .
Firstly, (in my opinion) your injury is definitely as a result of that particular movement..
Secondly, what on earth does one gain , in that position by pushing you further to
" get more of a stretch"🤔...from where exactly?
It sounds like you were at your max pushing you further is only going to put further "stretch" or rather over stretch your nerves. I am aware ( for óthers that nerves don't stretch).
As stated nerves don't stretch as such but you can definitely feel an increase in load or force.
This was a total overload of pressure, your muscles & tendons were maxed out so it's obvious you will incur an injury in the related nerves.
The biggest mistake here to me is that the instructor used fellow participants to apply the "' pressure"....
Now it's one thing doing this one 2 one potentially with a client you know very well they trust you and you are really aware of their abilities including old injuries .
ALSO YOU, THE INSTRUCTOR, know EXACTLY how to do this technique ( which is highly advanced and has a high RISK OF INJURY) and put that together with your knowledge of your clients body history then this can be performed safely...
BUT THIS INSTRUCTOR GOT THE MEMBERS IN THE CLASS TO PERFORM THIS TECHNIQUE ON YOU! ( And others)
That is appalling, these people have no idea where they should be pushing & pulling or even if they should be pushing & pulling!!! Your instructor CANNOT allow that to happen because they cannot be sure that this technique will be performed correctly and their priority is to put together a "SAFE AND and EFFECTIVE WORKOUT!!
End of!!!!
Good luck and please don't go back!
Be safe.
Absolute negligence.

double crush stingers... ouch!

[@Arubaansar]

Amazing!

[@melindastoski418]

thank you!

[@ChripDog]

Great stuff! Can we see that clip on the foot now?!

[@Sunflowers737]

is there a video for lower limb too please? thanks in advance

[@hassanbeddaa1435]

Please M. In the case of the CTS, we must put wrist dorsal flexion first or let it as a final step? In treatment of course. Thank you

[@lilanadelmann1364]

have you considered creating continuing education courses for occupational therapists? I'm an OT student and would love to learn more and get trained in this treatment approach :)

[@christians7706]
