[libribook.com] Traumatic Scar Tissue Management 1st Edition

Dosage
Arguably, one of the most complex aspects of MT treatment planning is
determining optimal dosage. This is certainly true when working with those with
traumatic scars.
The multifactorial complexity of traumatic scars and the person will require
individual consideration when determining dosage; frequency, duration, and
number of treatments.
The stage of wound/tissue healing is the predominant component that guides
clinical reasoning and decision-making with respect to what, when, how much
and how to deliver safe and effective MT. Understanding what is happening
during each stage and what outcomes are beneficial will drive the selection of
technique type, duration and location of technique application and duration and
frequency of treatment. Additionally, other client-centered considerations, such
as frequency and duration based on what the client can afford and ability to
travel to your clinic, are important factors in determining dosage.
Dosage considerations for stage of healing and specific techniques will be
covered in more detail further on.
