Graded Motor Imagery and mirroring with the healthy extremity, as the affected side, moving in normal fashion and without discomfort. She was an ankle foot CRPS. Worked for sometime with her and she did eventually make significant gains and the swelling and trophic skin changes improved.
Great article Terry! Appreciate this reminder on the importance of listening and holding space to better connect with our patients.
I’m going to set my intention to practice these things today!
Thank You Kristen! Were you able to come with an answer to the question on the photo?
Hmm remember learning this mirroring technique for stroke rehab.
I am not sure with this patient- some proprioceptive training? Treating chronic pain/CRPS?
Would love to know! :)
