Principle 1
The body is a unit; the person is a unit of mind, body, and spirit (gastric ulcer causes thoracic tissue texture changes)
Principle 2
The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance (healed fracture)
Principle 3
Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated
Principle 4
Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the inter-relationship of structure and function

ANATOMIC BARRIER
The limit of motion imposed by anatomic structure; the limit of passive motion
PHYSIOLOGIC BARRIER
The limit of active motion
ELASTIC BARRIER
Range between physiologic and anatomic barrier of motion in which passive ligamentous stretching occurs before tissue disruption.
RESTRICTIVE BARRIER
- A functional limit that abnormally diminishes the normal physiologic range
- Motion stops before the joint reaches its physiologic barrier
PATHOLOGIC BARRIER
A restriction of joint motion associated with pathologic change of tissues
somatosomatic reflex
localized somatic stimuli producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related somatic structures. For example, rib somatic dysfunction from an innominate dysfunction.
somatovisceral reflex
localized somatic stimulation producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related visceral structures. For example, triggering an asthmatic attack when working on thoracic spine.
viscerosomatic reflex
- localized visceral stimuli producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related somatic structures. For example gallbladder disease affecting musculature.
- Dorsal horn of the spinal cord is where somatic and visceral afferent nerves synapse giving a viscerosomatic reflex
viscerovisceral reflex
localized visceral stimuli producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related visceral structures. For example, myocardial infarction and vomiting.
somatic dysfunction
is defined as the impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (bodywork) system including: the skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures, and their related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements.
