    Study Notes

    Clinical Considerations for Positional Release Therapy with Special Populations

    • Positional Release Therapy (PRT) can be used to treat somatic dysfunction in diverse patient populations, but special considerations are necessary for certain groups.

    • Youth and elderly patients tend to be receptive to PRT and may heal faster, possibly due to differences in cellular senescence signaling and lower levels of physical and psychological stress.

    • Cellular senescence signaling may explain why tissues and cellular responses to stress decline with age, leading to delayed healing and increased risk for disease.

    • Psychological and physiological stress can impair healing, and supportive social networks can improve it.

    • Elderly patients with low bone mass and osteoarthritis are particularly prone to somatic dysfunction and require caution when applying PRT.

    • Nearly 50% of people over 50 have low bone mass, and roughly 10% have osteoporosis, making PRT's non-forceful nature ideal for this population.

    • Osteoarthritis is a common cause of knee pain in people over 50 and may require caution when applying PRT due to pain and limited range of motion.

    • Children with osteopathic lesions should be treated immediately to prevent central sensitization and functional movement impairments.

    • Chronic myofascial pain with trigger areas is common in childhood and can be treated successfully with physiotherapy.

    • Little is known about the prevalence of trigger points in children or the long-term consequences of osteopathic lesions in this population.

    • Therapists should adjust evaluation and treatment approaches to ensure patient safety and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions with special populations.

    • PRT can be an effective modality for treating somatic dysfunction in special populations, but caution and individualized approaches are necessary.Clinical Guide to Positional Release Therapy: Considerations for Special Populations

    • Osteopathic lesions in children require attention and quick treatment to avoid central sensitization.

    • Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women, and complications from classical treatments can persist for several years.

    • Postmastectomy patients often experience shoulder and chest wall pain, somatic dysfunction, and rotator cuff disease.

    • Positional Release Therapy (PRT) is an effective tool to address postmastectomy pain and dysfunction.

    • Competitive athletes are prone to developing osteopathic lesions due to the nature of athletic activity.

    • PRT can prevent central sensitization and normalize muscle activation patterns in athletes with acute and chronic injuries.

    • Low back and pelvic pain are prevalent in pregnant women due to anatomical and physiological changes.

    • There is no clear consensus on why women develop low back and pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy.

    • No therapeutic intervention to date has demonstrated a superior effect on pregnancy-related low back and pelvic pain and disability.

    • Therapists should consider additional triggers that may propagate the development and persistence of osteopathic lesions in athletes.

    • Therapists should keep in mind that PRT may produce marked soreness, particularly among chronic pain patients.

    • Therapists should educate young patients and their caregivers about other therapeutic measures to optimize their treatment and healing.Therapeutic Interventions for Pregnancy-Related Low Back and Pelvic Girdle Pain

    • Various therapeutic interventions have been examined for the treatment of pregnancy-related low back and pelvic girdle pain.

    • The primary interventions studied include traditional physical therapy, aquatic exercise, osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT), acupuncture, and physical and manual therapy combined.

    • No intervention was found to be more effective than any other for relieving pregnancy-related low back and pelvic pain.

    • Evidence suggests that exercise and acupuncture tailored to the stage of pregnancy can reduce lumbopelvic pain.

    • A low level of evidence exists for using exercise alone to reduce low back and pelvic pain during pregnancy or postpartum.

    • The study by Lillios and Young (2012) and T. Speicher examined the efficacy of using positional release therapy for pregnancy-related low back and pelvic girdle pain.

    • Evidence suggests that exercise and acupuncture tailored to the stage of pregnancy can reduce lumbopelvic pain.

    • OMT has been found to be effective in reducing pain and improving function in women with pregnancy-related low back and pelvic pain.

    • Acupuncture has been found to be effective in reducing pain and disability in pregnant women with low back and pelvic pain.

    • Physical therapy and manual therapy combined have been found to be effective in reducing pain and disability in pregnant women with low back and pelvic pain.

    • No significant adverse events have been reported for any of the therapeutic interventions studied.

    • Further research is needed to determine the most effective therapeutic interventions for pregnancy-related low back and pelvic girdle pain.
