FREE TECHNIQUE! Hands-on treatment for persistent neck pain



These are notes i'm working on, to be included in the new manual for the RDT practitioners that's been taking ages to finish.

For the chiropractors who have been asking for Edition 2, thank you for your patience.

This is a work in progress, written on the fly.

Soft tissue releases, done after Reflexive De-afferentation Technology Releases (RDT-R)

Focal treatment
of Longissimus capitis, 
neuro-myofascial
direct release.

Procedure:
Locate SCM insertion at the root of the mastoid.
Move fingers laterally, posteriorly to latch onto the longissimus capitis.
Trace this muscle's palpable origin by tracking it caudad toward the root of the neck.
Establish a fascial bind with two or more fingers at this origin.
Maintaining contact with the muscle mass, take the neck into and side-bending to the side you are treating, and add backward-bending, calibrating for tissue ease. This will correspond with a significant drop in tension, so it would be good to maintain a conscious effort to maintain tracking on the caudal end of the longitudinal axis of this muscle. Minimal rotation to the treatment side may be added, calibrating for tension drop, which is at tissue ease.
Done properly, it is possible to reach therapeutic pulse in this position.
If this happens, stay for at least 90 seconds, or until the neuromyofacial unwind that corresponds with the therapeutic pulse has completed its run.
You may now take the neck into side-bending away from the treatment side, forward-bending, and rotation away from the treatment side.
A superiorizing fascial tracking tension must be maintained on the muscle as the neck is simultaneously drawn opposite the position of ease taken at the start of treatment.
Movements are best kept at no faster than Speed of Tissue Release (STR).
The same movements are repeated a few times, as a fascial and segmental articulation.
Each articulation cycle will preferably have the treatment hold tracking further along the cepahlad extent of the muscle, with the end articulation hold at the muscle insertion near the mastoid, and with the head and neck taken into restrictive end-range for forward bending, side-bending, and rotation away from the treatment side.
