The topic presented is “The application of mechanical diagnosis and therapy in lateral epicondylalgia and she had this to say about her research:
When I was working towards my Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy training through clinical internships and continuing education courses, it was evident there was a lack of research using this method. After seeing patients having successful outcomes, I felt passionate about sharing my results. Overall, it is my goal to expose physical therapists to this approach, which has given me a systematic way in treating patients with musculoskeletal injuries.
This is such an enlightening research topic and we, here at Nova Medical Centers, are so proud to have her a part of our team!
