OMM

Pelvic diagnosis
ME position: pelvic dysfunction
Chapmans: pancreas
Innominate rotates anteriorly on side of short leg use heel lift
Increase heel lift 3mm per 1-2 weeks; stop when femoral heads level
Cranial strain patterns
After MVA, you get compression cranial pattern
Physiologic motion: flexion/extension (sacral counter-nutation during flexion);
Torsion can be a physiologic variant if CRI not interfered with
ME technique in general
Type 2 Freyette diagnosis
Post-isometric relaxation ME technique = UNECOM ME
Reciprocal inhibition ME technique = patient pushes opposite UNECOM ME for acute or when ME too painful
Arm nerves cutaneous distribution
ME technique: rib dysfunction focus on the key rib that which will pull the others out of dysfunction
Ant scalene: rib 1
Middle scalene: rib 1
Post scalene: rib 2
Pec minor: ribs 3-5
Serratus anterior: ribs 6-9
Latissimus dorsi: ribs 10-11
Quadratus lumborum: rib 12
Spurlings test; herniation of C6-7 affects 7
th
cervical nerve root
Patellorfemoral pain syndrome = runners knee; J-sign is lateral patellar tracking;
Theater sign = prolonged knee flexion (sitting) causes pain
Recommend strengthening vastus medialis
Most ankle sprains occur in plantar-flexion (plantar-flexion, inversion, adduction in unstable)
Dura of the reciprocal tension membrane attaches at the foramen magnum, C2, C3, S2 sync cranial-sacral motion
CV4 technique to increase amplitude of CRI (normal is 10-14 cycles per minute)
SBS = articulation of sphenoid and occipital bones
Viscerosomatic levels
Erbs palsy
Ribs 5-9 are the bucket-handle ribs; if stuck in inhalation, the intercostal space is narrowed
ME technique
Asthma tmt steps
Knee OA: aspirate, and inject corticosteroid if straw colored (ie. if consistent with OA)
