Show Notes
I don't always trust muscle testing, especially if the symptoms don't match with a strong test where I think there's some over-use injury.
I want to put my fingers or thumb on a muscle to feel for hypertonicity before I rule it out as a part of the problem.
It's easy to miss a hypertonic muscle if the manual muscle tests seem normal and you don't palpate to confirm.
