- Osteoporosis or osteopenia
- Malignancy (locally or in other areas of the body)
- Infection
ME rel con
- Moderate or severe muscle strain
- Severe osteoporosis
- Severe illness
ME ab con
- Lack of cooperation of patient (can’t understand instructions)
- Fracture, dislocation, or moderate to severe joint instability
HVLA rel con
- Mild-to-moderate strain sprain in the area to be treated
- Mild osteopenia or osteoporosis in the area that will be receiving compression, torsion, or another such force from the positioning and/or thrust
HVLA ab con
- Joint instability
- Severe osteoporosis
SCS rel con
- Patients who cannot voluntarily relax
- Stoic patients who cannot discern the level of pain or its change secondary to position
SCS ab con
- Traumatized (sprained or strained) tissues that would be negatively affected by positioning the patient
- Severe illness in which strict positional restrictions preclude treatment
FPR con
- Herniated disc where the positioning could exacerbate the condition
- moderate to severe joint instability
- severe sprains or strains where the positioning may exacerbate the injury
- vertebrobasilar insufficiency
BLT con
- fracture, dislocation, or gross instability in area to be treated
- malignancy, infection, or severe osteopor
DMFR Phys
By engaging the skin and subcutaneous fascia, you will allow for disengage of the fasica from the hypertonic muscle, This allows for increased ROM and reduced tension which aids the body in healing and restoring overall health when considering the blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves that are present in this layer. You can inc circulation and increase lymph drainage to decrease edema and restoration of health.

ME phys
This is a direct, active technique that utilizes the Golgi tendon organ reflex and post-isometric relaxation. The golgi tendon is activated when it senses the muscle is being stretched too far, thus exciting inhibitory signals to the muscle to relax it. By taking the muscle to the feather edge of resistance you engage the GTO, and when the patient engages isometric contraction (them activating the muscle when you hold it in place) you reset the GTO to a new position. This allows the muscle to stretch out farther without the GTO activating the inhibitory efferent motor fibers.
