PT Impression:
1. A 38y/o female c/o constant dull aching pain on (B) neck and upper back (R)> c ps 5/10 (L) c ps 3/10
c radiating pain from occiput to shoulder c PS 7/10 further manifested by LOM on cervical lateral
flexion and rotation, and Muscle spasm on B splenus capitis, upper trapz, levator scapulae, scalene,
Taut band on B B splenus capitis , upper trapz, Gr 1 tenderness on B Upper trapz and rhomboids,
Nodules on B rhomboids 20 to Chronic (B) C6 C7 Cervical Radiculopathy.
Rehab potential: Pt. has excellent prognosis as to rehab since patient is cooperative and motivated and made
very good progress and responded well c previous PT Tx
Problem List:
2. Px c/o constant dull aching pain on (B) neck and upper back (R)> c ps 5/10 (L) c ps 3/10 c radiating
pain from occiput to shoulder c PS 7/10 especially p washing chothes.
3. Pt has ↓ AROM on cervical lateral flexion and rotation
4. Postural deviation
5. Muscle spasm on B splenus capitis, upper trapz, levator scapulae, scalene
6. Taut band on B B splenus capitis , upper trapz
7. Gr 1 tenderness on B Upper trapz and rhomboids
8. Nodules on B rhomboids
Suggested PT Mx:
1. Pt. Education on proper body mechanics and proper posture to improve posture and avoid further strain
2. Kinesiotaping to provide support on B Upper trapz and Cervical muscles extending from acromion
process to neck
3. HEP
a. Self stretching techniques:
On cervical muscles and trapz to reduce tightness x 30 SH x 2 reps
