Manual Medicine Workshop / Manual Therapy Workshop / Continuing Education for Physical Rehabilitation Professionals

"i honestly don't get tired
of what i do"
(anonymous manual medicine practitioner)

Welcome to the Shoulder 1
Manual Medicine Session.

This is a Continuing Education Session for Physical Rehabilitation Professionals who see the limits of current practice, understand that more can be done, and want to learn how to deliver structural and functional changes that their patients deserve.


The focus of this session will be how to treat the shoulder. The techniques are hands-on.

The playing field will be level: most have not seen these techniques.

The learning filed will be multifocal: you get to see what the newbie sees, get to do what the intermediates do, and get to refine from the perspective of those who have advanced in these techniques.

There are no wrong answers here.

The more questions you bring, the better.

This is not a seminar. We'd like to share skills with you. It's hands-on.


We can not, and will not sell you an agency program for migration.

This is about your experience. You have to take charge and make the most of it.

We're just tour guides.
If you prefer to sit on your bum and go nowhere, we can't help you.


If you want more for yourself, your clinics, and your patients, we can talk.

But why talk when you can demonstrate and pass things on?

Talk is cheap. Can we show you a few things instead?

Never been to an MMG Session? Let's simplify things:

March 07, 2010. A workshop for when you run out of excuses
to tell your patients with shoulder pain and ROM limitations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Your certificates from January through March will be awarded on March 07 2010.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off, let's review a bit of what we've learned from this year’s previous sessions.



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.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, let’s preview the upcoming March 27 2010 Session:



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



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
