6. Visceral Manipulation Technique Integration Flashcards
Origin and Insertion for:
- Anterior scalene
- Middle scalene
- Posterior scalene
- Serratus posterior superior
- 1st rib anterior = 3-6 anterior TP
- Middle of 1st rib = 2-7 anterior TP
- Posterior part of 2nd rib => C4-5 TP
- Lateral portion of C7-T3 SP => angle of ribs 2-5
trauma to neck: other structures involves
- •Sternocleidomastoid
- •Omohyoid/ Stylohyoid
- •Splenius capitus
- •Levator Scapulae
Neck trauma: what is <3 attached to and what suspends it?
- Attached to: diapgragm
- Suspended by: ribs, sternum and spine
what nerves pass through mediastinum?
- Phrenic
- Vagus
what visceral structures cause the following SD?
- Diaphragm strains =
- Sternal SD
- Rib SD
- Pull of vasculature into neck
- Trachea to the neck
- Diaphragm strains => heart
- Sternal SD => fascial attachments of heart
- Rib SD => displacement of sternum, strains to diaphragm
- Pull of vasculature into neck => from <3 through aortic arch => carotid a. and v.
- Trachea to the neck => mediastinal stress through trachea to neck m attachments.
If patient has [acute trauma 2 weeks ago], what are treatment considerations?
- Gentle direct MFR
- Indirect MFR
- Guide for joint release
- DO NOT let structres heal in asymmetric strained positions
If patient has [acute trauma 2 weeks ago], when do we treat next?
wait 1-2 weeks to treat
Direct and indirect treatments for trauma patients
- Direct: ME and ART
- Indirect: Stills, FPR, BLT
If neck trauma, what regions do we treat first (neck, thoracic vs ribs)?
- Treat thoracic bc muscular connections to neck and ribs = least painful
- Neck
- Ribs last, bc may have already resolved.
What indirect treatments can be used to treat trauma?
Stills
FPR
BLT
BLT Technique
Basic Steps:
- Position the structure in neutral position in all planes
- Hold and use an activating force
- Respiration: enhances ease until “air hunger”
- Inherent Motion: just by holding in position there is a motion that motivates improved function
- Release may be palpable: tissue may soften, inherent motion may improve
- Recheck motion in all planes, and repeat until desired results achieved
What is the purpose of BLT?
Balance the ST around the re-aligned straightened structural/bone components and restore EQUAL tension/motion.
PT has pyelonephritis. What somatic structures are involved?
- T10-11 => causes vertebral rotation and rib dysfunctions at that level
- Interconnections of muscles above and below cause vertebral dysfunction at multiple levels above and below
What somatic structures are involved in a case of pyelonephritis (T10-11)
what causes tension and pain
Adjacent tissue irritation from local inflammatory hormone release causes tension and pain
- •Psoas
- •Quadratus lumborum
- •Transversus abdominus
- •Diaphragm
What does a tight psoas cause?
- Lumbar Lordosis (anterior pull on lumbar)
- Ipsilateral SB (lateral pull on lumbar)
- Anterior innominate rotation
