Q

What is visceral manipulation

A

A system of diagnosis and treatment directed to the viscera to improve physiologic function. Typically the viscera are moved towards their fascial attachments to a point of fascial balance. Also called ventral techniques

Q

For the biomechanical model you want to determine whether the SD is an MSK or viscerosomatic reflex problem. How?

Caudate hand is placed on the anteroinferior, right inferior ribs and costal margin and cephalic hand is placed on the posteroinferior ,right inferior ribs and costal margin

Activating force;use a gentle alternating compressive, pumping force through the rib cage to pump the liver tissues for 30-60 seconds

Reassess tart

Q

Liver pump with recoil

A

Patient supine with knees bend physician stands of sits on right side

Caudate hand is placed on the anteroinferior, right inferior ribs and costal margin and cephalic hand is placed on the posteroinferior, right inferior ribs and costal margin

Force -apply compressive force to engage the liver tissues (sense of resistance while compressing through rubs), then evaluate f/e, sb, r,—stack indirect

Activating force-instruct patient to take a few deep breaths and follow tissues towards ease, then during an early inhalation release compression and other forces.
-inherent mechanism and recoiled release

Reassess tart of VS reflexes

Q

OA BLT

A

One hand pincher grasp of the marina on either side of the midline for C1 to stabilize and monitor the OA through the atlas

Place other hand on patients head o induce position of greatest BLT
Test respiratory mechanism and airhunter

Repeat 1-3x until best motion obtained

Recheck

Q

FPR thoracic

A

Monitor segment and instruct patient to extend spine to straighten kyphotic curve

Activating force-add compression lass than 1lb localized to the segment

Indirect position triplanar

Hold 2-5 seconds
Return and retest
