Film songs theory part II

In continuing with my “film song theory”, the other off shoot of it is the so called ecclective approach. Some therapist can’t leave their song and dance routine they have come up with this idea called as ecclective approach.
What pray you may ask is ecclective approach? Well you take a bunch of treatment written before man went to moon and mash it all together and think well i am a genius.  The treatment commonly mashed together are PNF, NDT, SI, Brunstromm and other initials i have missed.

What is wrong with that you ask, adding you take the good from all the treatment? For example i will use NDT when the patient cannot move, use stimulus ideas from PNF and use what the heck cranio-sacral therapy to well make a fool out of me. The problem is these techniques were once the cutting edge in science- well in the 70s and 80s (of course cranio-sacral therapy was nonsense even then) but like everything else time and science changes.

These treatments physiological validity and clinical effectiveness has been over time been proved to be very limited. Hence putting two or more treatment with iffy evidence is not new improved treatment. The garbage ladies of our street collect the garbage from each of our house and put it in a large bin at the end of the street. Putting it all together in the end of the street does not make all the garbage into gold it just makes it into bigger garbage.

So we need to move on make movies without songs like the one Adoor Gopalakrishnan makes. We need to come up with new ideas, use ideas which have clinical evidence- proven and use it with our experience and the most important organ of the therapist - well not the hands, the brain.

Every blog i am going to close with a quote from hero- Homer Simpson

Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true! --Homer Simpson
