Which item is NOT listed as a treatment detail to record during an assessment?

During an assessment, you document the actions intended to address the patient’s condition. Direct treatment actions that influence tissue and function—such as soft tissue manipulation, osseous mobilization, and therapeutic exercise—are standard items to record as part of the treatment plan. A cold pack, while commonly used for symptom relief, is typically categorized as a modality and noted separately from treatment details. It’s considered an adjunct rather than a core treatment action documented in the assessment plan, which is why it’s not listed as a treatment detail in that context.
