For example, I learnt you can’t break down scar tissue, ‘release’ a muscle or a fascial adhesion (Chaudhry 2008, Chaudhry 2007, Schleip 2003, Threlkeld 1992)

I learnt that by stretching a muscle in a certain fashion, in a certain way, for a certain amount of time doesnt effect it’s structure (Solomonow 2007, Weppler 2010, Katalinic 2011)

I learnt that you don’t need to mobilise or manipulate a joint in a specific direction, based on a specific assessment of pain and joint feel (Chiradejnant 2003, Aquino 2009, Schomacher 2009, Nyberg 2013)

I learnt that palpation of muscles, joints, trigger points are all unreliable and can lead to questionable diagnosis that often direct treatment down wrong and ineffective pathways, I have done a blog on this particular topic recently with all the supporting evidence here.

I leant that when all the methods and techniques of manual therapy are examined through the process of systematic reviews and meta analysis most of the research is poor and even the good research shows that it doesn’t do much (Menke 2014,Kumar 2014, Artus 2010, Kent 2005)
