The Eclectic Approach is always
evolving. I read the critiques and weight them more than the
accolades.
Here are some changes I made to the
seminars this weekend
Two main messages - 1) Assertiveness 2) End Range!
Two main messages - 1) Assertiveness 2) End Range!
Cervical Thrust Manipulation
- for contact points: instead of saying my second MCP of the thrusting hand was on the zygoapophyseal joint of a certain level, I said it was on the back of the neck lateral to the spinous process.
- Why make it any more complicated than that? It's not!
- I divided the cervical spine into upper and lower (upper still below C2 as I do not teach thrust to OA or AA)
For you OMPT
Channel subscribers, my sister-in-law shot me doing an entire mini
eval and treatment, it's probably about a 30 minute vid and will be
uploaded sometime this week.
I also purposely
picked someone to evaluate and treat that I thought was a slow
responder, to show that it's not all smoke and mirrors. Incidentally,
his name was John Mayer, so the jokes were on about that all day!
Typical of most slow responders he had
- multidirectional loss of motion
- he's been like this “for a long time” - as in stiff, no complaints
- I tried light IASTM along his cervical patterns, light subcranial shear distractions, end range overpressure, and sustained overpressure
- like I thought, he felt “looser” but there was no rapid change in movement
I demonstrated the
use of EDGE Mobility Bands for improvements in shoulder and
neurodynamic mobility. Here is a vid I shot earlier in the year
showing this for neurodynamics.
Some vids of thrust manipulation instruction from the weekend.
Some pics of the courses and with loyal blog readers.
