Cyriax's concept of diagnosis

Cyriax's concept of diagnosis focuses on understanding soft tissue pain by systematically testing movement and applying pressure. Rather than just identifying a structural problem, it involves carefully examining how muscles, tendons, and joints respond to specific movements and stress. This helps pinpoint the exact source of pain or injury, guiding targeted treatment. The goal is to determine whether the pain is due to tissue inflammation, contraction, or nerve issues, enabling precise rehabilitation strategies tailored to the patient's specific condition.
