Midterm: Visceral OMT Lab Flashcards
Treatment order for Visceral OMT
- Mechanical
- Reduce Visceral support and capsule stress
3 Normalize autonomic tone
-OA, Sacrum, T1-L2, - Reduce Chapmans points
- Lymphatics
-diaphragm, Thoracic inlet - Pump lymphatics
How do you perform Psoas Release?
Pt supine, doc ipsi
Drop leg off table
- apply superior pressure to ASIS to prevent anterior rotation
- Provide pressure at knee to engage hip flexors
Hold for myofascial release, or muscle contractions 3x3 seconds
How do you perform QL Lateral Recumbent?
Pt lays on side, affected side up
- Forearms on iliac crest and shoulders
- Fingers grasp QL and fascia
Lean forward to create separation on shoulders and hips, lengthen the QL.
-apply kneading component rhythmically
OMM techniques on Spleen and Liver
Splenic Pump
Liver Pump
Liver Pump with activation recoil
Ascending and descending colon are peritoneal or retroperitoneal? Do they move a lot when treating?
They are retroperitoneal, so they do not move much.
Contact and Force direction for Sigmoid colon release
Start on anteromedial of left pelvic brim and force is directed to RUQ
Contact and Force direction for descending colon release
Left of posterolateral L flank with a medial force
Contact and Force direction for transverse colon
start inferior to costal margin with inferior force
Contact and Force direction for ascending colon
start on posterolateral R flank with medial force
Kidney Palpation and release of visceral strain
Flex pts knees, lift kidney from posterior
-medial to A/D colon, inferior to T colon
Engage kidney gently
-test for best movement (A/P, M/L, S/I)
Tx: Indirect Fascial release
If a kidney is found to be anterior, medially rotated, and superior where do you hold it for fascial release
Indirect
-hold it where it likes to go: Anterior, Medial, Superior
Which direction does the small intestine root run?
Diagonal
How do you treat the superior edge of the small intestine with indirect mesenteric release?
Start 1 inch inferior and lateral to umbilicus
scoop and hold, with a slow release bringing the side toward the mesenteric root
How do you treat the inferior edge of the small intestine with indirect mesenteric release?
Cecum-medial to right ASIS
scoop and hold, with a slow release bringing the side toward the mesenteric root
Pelvic Visceral strain release
Pt supine, with one hand on lumbosacral junction and other on anterior lower abdomen
anterior hand provides focused transabdominal pressure to provide indirect MFR to the:
- uterus
- bladder
- other
