As a physical therapist you probably have uttered the words, "you are tight, you need to stretch more."
Feel stiff? Tight? Think your range of motion is uncomfortably limited? These things often go together, but they don’t always, and they definitely aren’t the same. Wrapping your head around the difference is good human body owner’s manual stuff.

Today's article is by Paul Ingraham at painscience.com.
Are the little bundles of nerves that exit your spine the wellspring of visceral vitality? Will your organs wilt like neglected house plants if your nerve roots are slightly impinged? This is what many chiropractors would like their customers to believe — while others speak out against it.Do you think the physical therapy profession has done enough to educate the public on who we are and what we do?
I would love to feature articles that you, the listeners suggest.

Physical Therapists see plenty of patients with ITB issues.

According to Paul Ingraham of PainScience.com, the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) may not be all it's cracked up to be.
He describes concerns that may cast doubt on the validity of FMS in general, as well as the much broader idea of corrective exercises, which need problems to correct, such as core weakness or poor posture.
If you are a physical therapist, personal trainer or in exercise science and you use the FMS tell us your thoughts on our Facebook Page:
