AC1= TP
where and what is the trx

midway between ramus and mastroid process on the TP of C1
push lateral to medial
AC2-6
where and what is the trx
FSaRa
anterior surface of transverse process of the corresponding vertebrae
AC7
where and what is the trx
FStRa
2 cm lateral to the medial end of the clavicle
(clavicular head of SCM), 2-3 cm lateral to proximal clavicle
Seventh Heaven, going up to the StRa (star)
AC8

AT3-6
where he
on the sternum as the same numbered costal level

see google doc for picture
AT1-6 treatment position
lying down supine with arms falling over the sides of the table: patient at head with ipsi hand monitoring the tender point
use contra hand under the head to flex the C and T spine to the level of the PTP
OR patient is sitting up with arms pulled behind and hooked under the table, physician standing behind so that the pt can just lean against them
use contra hand to bend forward their head while monitoring TP with ipsi hand
AT7-9 treatment position
thoracic flexion with StRa
patient is seated, physician is standing behind the patient. put your whole ipsi foot on the ipsi side next to the patient, misogynist lumberjack style
use contra hand to reach around and monitor the TP, use ipsi hand on patient’s head to induce StRa (the have their ipsi arm on your lumberjack leg and will end up leaning on it)
AT10-12
hip flexion, StRa torso
patient is supine, hands holding their titties (to get out the way)
you misogynist lumberjack style put your knee on the table so that you can grasp BOTH ankles to throw over your leg
monitor the ipsilateral TP with your cephalad hand
PT SPINOUS PROCESS 1-12
where and how treat
midline on the inferior, aspect/tip of spinous process of the dysfunctional segment
extension
they either supine for C spine
PT 1-3 TPs
where and how treat
ESaRa
on the transverse process of each thoracic vertebra (medial to articulation with associated rib)
associated with longissimus thoracis, levatores costarum, semispinalus, multifides, or rotatores
PT 4-9 TPs
where and how
ESaRt
on the TP of each thoracic vertebra (medial articulation w associated rib)
associated with longissimus thoracis, levatores costarum, semispinalus, multifidus or rotatores
