What are the 4 parameters for a bad sign for lymph nodes?
swollen, hard, non-painful, fixed
What are the 4 transverse restrictors?
Tentorium cerebelli, thoracic inlet, thoracolumbar diaphragm, pelvic diaphragm
what do you start with for treatments for lymphatics?
ALWAYS thoracic inlet MFR.. typically go from there downwards
what are the 4 principles to lymphatic treatments?
open pathways to remove restrictions –> maximize diaphragmatic functions –> increase pressure differentials or transmit motion –> mobilize targeted tissue fluids
What way does the sacrum move during rocking?
sacral apex moves anteriorly on inhalation
base moves anteriorly on exhalation
what is a positive test for the compression test / spurling maneuver?
what do both indicate
pain down the arm in the nerve root distribution
cervical radiculopathy
What is within the medial longitudinal arch?
Calcaneus, Talus, Navicular, Cuneiforms 1-3, Metatarsal 1-3
What is within the lateral longitudinal arch?
Calcaneus, Talus Cuboid, Metatarsal 4-5
Posterior Fibular Head indicates which motion of the foot?
Anterior Lateral Malleolus –> Supination (Add Plants In your Soup”
Plantarflexion, inversion, adduction
Anterior fibular head indicates which motion of the foot?
Posterior Lateral Malleolus –> Pronation
Abduction, dorsiflexion, eversion
We know that the OA is “type 1 like”… what does that mean for f/e?
It usually has a F/E component, which is why it’s type 1 like
What is the process for lymphatic treatments/
- open the thoracic inlet
- Other transverse myofascial restrictors
- regional lymphatic drainage
What direction does effleurage go from?
Distal to proximal
What lymphatic treatment is contraindicated for COPD?
Thoracic Pump Vacuum

What is the functional unit of the spinal cord?
two spinal vertebrae, soft tissues, nerves and the disc between 2 articulations
What is…
Empty? Elastic? Hard? Crisp? Abrupt?
motion stops due to patient guarding
feels like a rubber band
somatic dysfunction
involuntary guarding due to a pinched nerve
limit of a hinge joint
Wolff’s Law
bone will develop under the stress placed upon it
Hooke’s Law
strain placed on a body is proportional to the stress placed upon it.
Sherrington’s Law
when a muscle receives a nerve impulse to contract, its antagonists, receives, simultaneously, an impulse to relax.
What is an absolute contraindication for Soft tissue technique?
what’s a weird one for relative?
Fracture
severe osteoporosis
5 models of osteopathic treatment
postural structural (biomechanics)
neurologic
bioenergy (metabolic)
respiratory - circulatory
behavioral
organ systems (sometimes)
