Q

In taking up a double contact with one hand under the sacrum and the other hand under the vertebral column, what do you consider the function of
A) the sacrum hand

Q

How does the anatomical difference of the SBS effect its function

A

SBS is more mobile than any joints in the cranium and moves more freely than sutures

Q

Why is the anatomical difference of the SBS considered to be significant in CST

A

It’s increased mobility and its central pivotal position means the SBS is more readily affected by any imbalances, patterns of strain, tensions and asymmetries elsewhere in the CS system. Hence the SBS provides a window through which we can readily read everything that is going on throughout the system

Q

Describe a Left Sidebending pattern of the SBS, in terms of:

B) What is happening at the SBS

A

There is a gap between the sphenoid body and the basilar-occiput on the left side of the SBS with corresponding narrowing on the opposite side (right side)

16
Q

Which nerve root emerges between vertebra C7 and T1

A

C8 (the only nerve left without a corresponding vertebra)

17
Q

What sympathetic levels are associated with:

A) The head and eyes

A

T1-T2

18
Q

What sympathetic levels are associated with:

B) The thoracic viscera (lungs and heart)

A

T2-T6

19
Q

What sympathetic levels are associated with:

C) The upper abdominal viscera (stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder

A

T6-T10

20
Q

What sympathetic levels are associated with:

D) The lower abdominal and pelvic viscera (colon, uterus, prostate, genitalia)

A

T10 - L2

21
Q

What viscera and other (mechanical, emotional etc) associations would you expect with the following vertebral levels -
A) Thoraco-Lumbar junction T12-L1

A

Large Intestine - T10 - L2
Kidney, ureters, bladder and genitalia - L2
Transitional area between the thoracic spine and lumbar
Area of postural stresses and strains
Area which absorbs compressive forces from falls, sporting activities
Attachment area with the crura of the diaphragm
Affected by menstrual disorders, IBS, kidney diseases
Area of major sympathetic nerve outflow to the surrounding viscera

22
Q

What viscera and other (mechanical, emotional etc) associations would you expect with the following vertebral levels -
B) T9

A

Stomach, Liver, Gall bladder, pancreas, spleen - T6-8
Small intestine - T8-10
T9 is the Apex of the thoracic curve
Nurological associations - coeliac plexus/ganglia, associated with the solar plexus
Significant for -
stress and pressure of excessiver stimulation of the sympathetic NS
excessive secretion of adrenaline
excessive activity within the solar plexus

23
Q

What viscera and other (mechanical, emotional etc) associations would you expect with the following vertebral levels -
B) T4

A

Heart - T1-T5
Respiratory tract - T2-T6
Oesophagus - T4-T6
Considered to be the root of the neck
Junction between Upper triangle and Large triangle, meeting point at which stresses and strains, injuries and imbalances from above and below all come together.
Nurological associations -
Focal area of sympathetic nerve outflow to both the heart and lungs - asthma
Cardiac plexus associated with Heart Chakra, anxieties, stresses, grief

24
Q

What vertebral levels would you associate with

A) The eyes

A

T1-T2 & C1-C4 (Superior Cervical Sympathetic Ganglia)

25
Q

What vertebral levels would you associate with

B) The lungs

A

T2-6

26
Q

What vertebral levels would you associate with

C) The duodenum

A

T6-10

27
Q

What vertebral levels would you associate with

D) The ileo-cecal valve

A

T10-L2

28
Q

What vertebral levels would you associate with

E) The bladder

A

T10-L2

29
Q

What movement is felt at the feet during the expansion and contraction phase

A

Feet externally rotate (roll out) during the expansion phase and internally rota (roll in) during the extension phase

30
Q

What is meant by Tissue Memory

A

Memories arising in response to changes in the tissue
When tension in the tissues are released memories associated with the incident that caused the tension may arise.
Tissues can also hold physical patterns of injuries and stress, Even if the original source of the injury has been removed the tissue can still suffer from a physical disturbance

31
Q

For what conditions, or under what circumstances might you use Fascial Unwinding

A

It may arise spontaneously during treatment
A practitioner may identify areas that feels as if it would benefit
Injuries such as tennis elbow, sprained ankle, frozen shoulder
Can always be integrated with a complete treatment at an appropriate moment, usually somewhere in the middle of the treatment
