coupled motion
lateral flexion and rotation happen simultaneously
cervical and upper thoracic
spinous/vertebral bodies
SPINOUS: rotate into convexity
away from lateral flexion
VERTBRAL BODIES: rotate into concavity
towards lateral flexion
lumbar and lower thoracic
spinous/vertebral bodies
SPINOUS: rotate into concavity
towards lateral flexion
VERTBRAL BODIES: rotate into convexity
away from lateral flexion
T1-T4 TP location
one interspinous space above Sp lateral to midline
T5-T8 TP location
two interspinous space above Sp lateral to midline
T9-T12 TP location
one interspinous space above Sp lateral to midline
lateral disc protrusion antalgia
lean away from the side pain
+ kemps: same side of pain
