Video Summary

Brett DeGoyer, a primary care sports medicine specialist, discusses manual medicine and osteopathic manipulative treatment. He emphasizes being deliberate with patients, ensuring they understand the techniques, which are simple and quick. He demonstrates techniques like myofascial release and ligamentous articular strain. The myofascial release involves using fingertips to relieve muscle tension around the posterior knee and patella, promoting better blood and lymphatic flow. The ligamentous articular strain involves compressing ligaments at the femorotibial joint to promote relaxation. These techniques aim to relieve tension and improve nerve function.
