If it was filmed with a real tradie, there would be much more swearing.

[@Violetabrillante]

nah, i know the feeling , the pain is too deep to be swearing.

[@kinaltrivedi9251]

Hello. I am from Montreal Canada and teach Physiotherapy technicians. I would love to use some of your videos in my course for educational purposes and was wondering how to get permission to do so as I do not want to infringe on any Copyrights issues.

[@Miollvynir]

You should be able to show it in its original form no problems. It's on a public platform.

[@Violetabrillante]

[@fizioterapevt]

Thanks.

[@debpaix]

Did he pretend he'd managed the reflexes?! so much easier to do KJ in sitting & AJ in prone. Probably not good to say "excellent" when patient reports exacerbation of symptoms when assessed! Also, student to watch their manual handling & posture : get in close!

[@errolmenezes9146]

Daniel...just a concern for avoiding future back problems...you might have a sway back posture...a posteriorly rotated pelvis could be the cause...its just a hunch so i would recommend you to get yourself checked. :-)

[@errolmenezes9146]

correction...anteriorly rotated pelvis

[@flaminmongrel6955]

rotated? or you mean tilted?

Couldn’t concentrate because of his feet
