ActiveCare PT was chosen as one of the only local facilities to participate in the Maitland Australian Physiotherapy Seminars (MAPS) studies on Shoulder Impingement and Spinal Conditions.  The studies will compile data from applicable study participants.  The Shoulder Impingement study looks at the additional of a neck joint mobilization and it’s effect on shoulder impingement outcome as compared with those subjects that do not receive the neck joint mobilization.  The spinal conditions study looks at the changes during and between treatment sessions as well as the actual presence of the ‘Comparable Sign’, which is a Maitland-specific painful functional movement or position that is assessed during the treatment sessions.  To learn more, call ActiveCare Physical Therapy at 212.777.4374.  You may also find more information about MAPS at www.ozpt.com.
