What's the sense and nonsense of a "specific" diagnosis

Manual therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors seem to have talents others don't have...

Particularly they claim to "feel" all kinds of abnormalities through palpation.
"I "feel" there's a problem between C6-C7

There's some limitation in anterior translation and left rotation..."

>>> Sounds familiar too you?

Honestly, do you really believe that 😊?

The problem is, that when I am confronted with these kind statements, I often feel like an idiot, for the simple reason that I don't seem to "feel" all those abnormalities?

On examining the patient, the major question is:

Do the tests I use have any validity?
Do I really feel what I think I feel?
How do I have to interpret the test results?

The answer to those questions is discussed in detail in the online Masterclass in orthopaedic medicine.
