Many people have become aware of CTB via our therapeutic vibration/percussion tool, the Muscle Liberator™. It gets peoples’ attention to see someone get treated with what looks like a power drill. While I’m very excited about the results we get with the use of the tool within the CTB system, there is a lot of misunderstanding regarding the use of vibration/percussion tools in general.
We see a lot of what is identified as "sciatica" in our clinic and school. The most common presentation of this so-called "diagnosis" is one-sided pain, consisting of elements in the low back, the glutes, the groin, and the lateral hip and leg. Occasionally knee pain may also be a component.
Sometimes it takes a lot of patience when working with chronic pain clients. It is difficult to impossible to do CTB manual therapy when the client is so guarded that they cannot let you move their joints without engaging the muscles.
