Description

This study presents and analyzes a short period of communication between a judo therapist and a patient at a judo therapy clinic. The data used for this study was a video recording of the therapist palpating the patient's affected area and surrounding region. During this palpation, the therapist uses touch to ascertain just where the patient feels pain, and transcripts and descriptions are given of the interaction occurring between the therapist and patient during that period. During the palpation and traction, the therapist carefully monitors the patient's facial expressions and breathing patterns, and the diagnostic usefulness of this palpation and traction is found to arise from the sensitive interaction between the therapist and patient.
