What the case will work through
This Back to Basics session will look at one of Sarah-Jane's private-practice clients as an anonymised clinical case. The discussion will focus on the decision-making behind the management plan, how the Ritchie brace has been used, and where different treatment tools fit into the bigger picture.
The session is designed to be practical and case-led, helping clinicians think through assessment, treatment planning, escalation, and how to integrate care into a wider multidisciplinary team.
- Review the clinical reasoning behind a private-practice MSK case.
- Understand where the Ritchie brace fits in the management strategy.
- Discuss how Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound supports assessment and decision-making.
- Explore shock wave therapy, laser therapy and rehabilitation as part of a joined-up plan.
- Consider how podiatry integrates into the wider multidisciplinary team.
