    Study Notes

    Clinical Guide to Positional Release Therapy for Special Populations

    • Aquatic exercise and acupuncture have been found to be more effective than traditional physical therapy for reducing pregnancy-related low back and pelvic pain.

    • Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) and osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) have only yielded limited support for treating pregnancy-related low back and pelvic pain.

    • Both physical therapy and aquatic therapy and acupuncture can relieve low back pain and improve function in pregnant women, while OMT may slightly improve disability.

    • Pregnant women are encouraged to remain active, but competitive athletes should receive close medical attention due to the risk of somatic dysfunction development from eccentric exercise.

    • Positional Release Therapy (PRT) is an excellent therapeutic alternative for mitigating pregnancy-related low back and pelvic girdle pain.

    • PRT can dramatically improve quality of life by reducing pain and spasm, improving function, and enhancing overall well-being, and reducing hospital length of stay.

    • Obese patients often present with persistent musculoskeletal and joint pain and resultant somatic dysfunction caused by the abnormal and excessive loading of joints, particularly at the knee and hip.

    • The foremost therapeutic intervention for obese patients should be to help them attain a healthy lifestyle that not only moves them out of obesity but also helps them control and manage their diabetes.

    • Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is more prevalent among the obese, and diabetic patients may present with joint pain and somatic dysfunction, which typically moves upward from the feet.

    • The resolution of somatic dysfunction among T2D patients is often predicated on their ability to maintain a healthy weight.

    • Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by widespread painful somatic lesions, and the term fibrositis was initially used to describe the condition.

    • Positional Release Therapy (PRT) has been found to be effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with fibromyalgia.Understanding Fibromyalgia and Central Sensitivity Syndrome

    • Fibrositis was the original term for fibromyalgia, which is associated with a larger spectrum of disorders than just painful tissue lesions.

    • The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) provided the initial framework for a standard of diagnosis and research of fibromyalgia in 1990.

    • The ACR classification of fibromyalgia requires a prolonged history of widespread pain and the presence of moderately sensitive tender points in multiple regions of the body.

    • The identification of tender points in the clinical setting based on the ACR criteria has been deemed unrealistic and unnecessary for diagnosis.

    • The primary symptoms of fibromyalgia are multi-focal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive or memory problems.

    • Fibromyalgia is part of a larger continuum of somatic conditions, leading some researchers to group them because of their overlapping clinical symptoms and call it central sensitivity syndrome (CSS).

    • CSS patients show a strong genetic and familial predisposition and may possess a metabolic or nutritional deficiency.

    • Fibromyalgia patients are hypersensitive to all sensory stimuli, including sensory pressure and auditory, heat, cold, and electrical stimuli.

    • Pharmacological therapies showing promise for treating fibromyalgia include tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and alpha-2-delta ligands.

    • A multimodal treatment approach consisting of manual, behavioral, nutritional, and pharmacological therapy coupled with progressive therapeutic exercise and stress management interventions is recommended.

    • PRT may be an excellent nonpharmacological approach to treating CSS, as it can decrease afferent sensory reflexes, pain, and sensory amplification by reducing gamma gain at the third-order neuronal level.

    • Clinicians must address somatic dysfunction early and correct structural and mechanical abnormalities as well as precipitating factors such as nutritional, hormonal, and physical activity issues to prevent somatic dysfunction from becoming widespread.
