Question 2:

After playing tennis, Mrs. Jones is seen by a sports injury massage therapist regarding long-standing pain in her right elbow. The client's history also includes complaints of numbness and tingling down her forearm and loss of grip strength. The massage therapist has treated many tennis elbow cases, an overuse soft tissue injury with tenderness localized to the outside of the elbow, and he treats her accordingly. The radiating numbness and weakness are not addressed because the symptoms did not fit the model of tennis elbow. After two weeks, Mrs. Jones is not better, and her orthopedic physician orders an MRI, which reveals she has been experiencing cervical spine degenerative disc disease with spinal nerve impingement on the right side. What is this an example of?

A) lens of bias

B) inaccurate history by client

C) an overly aggressive treatment of tennis elbow—it was unnecessary for Mrs. Jones to be seen by an orthopedic physician

D) a soft tissue injury beyond the scope of this massage therapist
