Can you give me a case scenario that would give me an idea how you would approach someone's' problem?

Here's an example of our dynamic approach. Beth comes to us with some nagging neck and shoulder pain. On examination a number of things are discovered. She has a small partial tear in her rotator cuff and some bone spurs in her spine. We also notice that Beth holds her head 3 inches more forward than she should, she has overactive pectoral muscles, deconditioned lower thoracic muscles (Trap and Rhomboid), and is 30 pounds overweight. Our treatment approach with Beth started with: PNF and Myofascial Release to relax the overactive suboccipital, SCM, and Pectoral muscles; physical therapy to decrease the pain (ultrasound, Interferrential current, electrical stimulation); posture re-education to keep the scapula stable while moving; strength training for her core muscles; nutrition counseling for weight management and her underlying anemia and borderline thyroid disorder In addition, a custom insert in her shoe was made to control foot pronation and to help her gait(walk) and improve the Windlass mechanism to stabilize the ankle. We also did gentle spinal corrections speed recovery and flexibility.
