Presentation summary:
The 2nd part of this presentation provides support for the Regional Interdependence model as a valid treatment framework by drawing on examples from clinical reserach. Examples are used from the research literature showing support for an association between areas that initally may appear unrelated to a region of primary symptoms. The argument is put forward that clinicians can use this model to help guide their clinical reasoning and treatment choices when managing musculoskeletal disorders.
