Kids Aren’t Little Adults: Rethinking Pediatric Manual Therapy with Ginny Henderson
Manage episode 522609738 series 2894860
Pediatric manual therapy has been built on adult techniques — and that’s a problem.
Educator, clinician, and researcher Ginny Henderson joins us to expose the missing guidelines, the hidden dangers, and the new evidence-based techniques designed specifically for growing bodies.
We cover:
• Why kids’ bones are more vulnerable — and how to mobilize safely
• The biggest misconceptions clinicians bring from adult PT
• Combining joint mechanics with motor learning for better outcomes
• How chronic pain presents differently in children
• The powerful (and often overlooked) influence of parent beliefs
• When pain is nociceptive… and when it’s actually nociplastic
• How PTs can start making better decisions tomorrow with pediatric patients
This is one of those “I didn’t even know I needed this” conversations — and it might change how you treat kids forever.
