SHOW NOTES   In this session, I go over everything you need to know to interpret what your doctor, physical therapist or sports chiropractor is talking about before rehab. Communication and common terminology is extremely important for compliance of a treatment plan.   Compliance means you will stick to the plan.   This sounds like I am treating patients as children and I don’t mean that at all, but it’s extremely common for people to not value what they don’t understand. You need understand why a certain treatment plan is recommended for your condition.   It all starts with common terminology.   So on that note, we will go through:   Anatomy of the knee (bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles) Mechanics of the knee (open and closed chain) Some analogies to assist in your understanding Open and closed chain mechanics My cylinder stacking analogy The Door Hinge Analogy The “Screw Home” Mechanism   If you want to get one of the best books of anatomy, try the Netters Coloring Book http://amzn.to/2m58g2B . It has proven to be very helpful in learning anatomy and very cheap.   The Netters larger book is the book 99% of rehab practitioners learn anatomy from in school. http://amzn.to/2mokcir   Enjoy!
