Abstract
Accurate assessment of soft tissue injuries is crucial to both pain relief and proper treatment. Orthopaedic assessment skills are systematic problem solving methods that give the massage practitioner or bodyworker a sound basis for making educated decisions about treatment with choices. The emphasis on manual examination in orthopaedic assessment is appropriate for the therapist who primarily uses manual treatment methods since highly developed skills of palpation are crucial for proper assessment and treatment. Treatment will be most effective when the therapist is able to match the physiology of the tissue injury with the physiological effects of specific massage techniques. This article utilizes a fictional case study to illustrate the value of orthopaedic assessment skills in the treatment of rotator cuff pathology.
