Manual Medicine Workshop on March 07, 2010

Welcome to the Cervical 3 / Shoulder 1 MMG Session.

First off, let's review what we've learned.

1) Spaceman / Floatation Unwind, Supine. Can you imagine what it would be like to let your patient's body guide you into its own healing mode? Technique: Supine, head supported. Induction technique on Neuromyofascial Focal Progressive Unwind.
2) Mandible Disconnection from Cervical Back-bending. Biomechanics meets Proprioception. Technique: Mandible actively engaged in opening. Cervical firing isolated proprioceptively. Active attempt to open jaw without engaging cervical segment movement. Post-treatment: Isolated segment treatment via the other techniques.

March 07, 2010:
Individual Techniques:
(When was the last time you saw a workshop manual online, open for everyone’s prying eyes?)

1) Review of Basic Model: Multistacker Unwind (ever seen Eight Degrees of Freedom?), focal, vector-locking openers. Note localizing versus blocking handholds / techniques. Question to ask: “How do you…”
We reviewed this in Session 2. Now we fine-tune.

2) Cervical FB-BB in rotation, supine.
a) Cervical Rotation taken into flexion-extension cycles; active nodding; side-bending.
b) Compare with pre-harmonic patterns.
c) Technique:
i) Endrange rotation, taken into flexion and extension
ii) Supine.
d) Compare Facet opener variations and LVLA openers.

3) Epicranial Aponeurosis Release (Special Precaution: Avoid Lateral Sphenoid Wing Compression)

4) Cranial Vector Releases:
a) AP
b) Left, Right
c) Fronto-Occipital
d) Diagonals
i) Left>Right
ii) Right>Left
iii) Occipital L-R

5) Cranial-sacral dural release posterior hookup (Compare to Xiphoid-Halux Hold)

6) Posterior cervical wedging, advanced, RRDT modifications. Consider cervical stairstepping.

7) Cervical side-bending in rotation, supine
8) Masseter release, local, direct, external-internal
9) Palatal arch-basing
10) Maxillary anterior lift
