Results: Patient was given directional preference of internal rotation, and was treated for 4 continuous visits, regularly assessed and continued the same treatment. On last visit he was assessed and discharged asymptomatically.
Conclusion: MDT overall is cost effective self-treatment method for derangement, dysfunction and postural syndrome. Initially it was introduced as spinal technique but later described useful for extremities also.
