My first taste of the electives

Chose Functional technique and Osteopathy and Obstetrics which I am partaking in for this Autumn term and already they have had an effect on my technique when treating patients. We learnt to percuss (tapping?!) the vertebrae to detect a difference in tissue response, and found myself doing that the very next time I was in clinic. Obstetrics also left its mark, opening my mind to the many ways to treat patients rather than just on their back, front or sidelying. Using the 8 finger soft tissue technique too which my patients seem to respond well to. Looking forward to seeing what else will be taught!
