Microtraumatic

• Any repetitive injury over long time
• This patient may need a detailed biomechanical , movement and/or postural analysis to intervene with the repetitive injury.
• If the tissue trauma is relatively acute (secondary to microtrauma), the patient is likely on their way to becoming a chronic patient and losing functional mobility and increasing pain over time. You want to prevent the degenerative cascade from developing.
• If the tissue trauma is relatively chronic, these patient’s will have continous flare ups, which are the norm not the exception.
