Hey John. Currently seeing a few elderly clients with THA. After surgery they are all told to not adduct or internally rotate as that increases the chance of luxation. A lot of these videos on the hip use some sort of add/IR. Could you maybe at some point make a video addressing techniques and tests for this subset of clients?

[@JohnGibbons]

Do you mean THR - as in a replacement rather than a THA (Arthoplasty) as you mentioned luxation? I am sure I will make a video at some point and thanks for the message - regards JG

[@zbo1]

@@JohnGibbons yes! THR sorry!

Hi John. Could you explain the difference between met technique and pnf stretching please

[@JohnGibbons]

MET has originated from the osteopathic profession (Fred Mitchell) and PNF from the physiotherapy profession. They are similar in one respect as typically a contract relax technique - PNF typically is more aggressive / more of a contraction and used to stretch muscles - METs are gentler and used to normalise the joint position by normalising the length of the muscles, hope that helps, regards JG

[@supriyaphysio3122]
