Luc 30 min foot treatment using PDTR and Anatomy in Motion
In this 30‑minute session, practitioner Tom Gellie conducts a foot treatment with patient Luc using the PDTR (Pain, Diagnosis, Treatment, Review) protocol and Anatomy in Motion principles. The session begins with a baseline pain assessment where Luc rates his foot pain on a 0–10 scale, indicating levels up to 9‑10. Tom guides Luc through a series of functional movements—standing on the balls of the feet, compressing the foot, and controlled descent—while monitoring pain responses. After several corrective repetitions, Luc reports a rapid reduction in pain, moving from high scores (7‑8) to no pain during weight‑bearing, walking, and foot push‑off. The conversation also reveals that Luc had experienced the issue for about six months before the treatment, and the entire session lasted roughly 30 minutes, leaving Luc very satisfied with the outcome.
