long lever BLT thoracic
- cephalad hand under articulation of segment on 1 below while caudal hand grabs ipsi arm
- ABduct arm to localize inferiorly along spine, ADduct to localize superiorly
- fine tune until balance felt
- protract (contra R) vs retract (ipsi R)
- compression (ipsi SB) vs traction (SB contralat)
- flexion (IR) vs extension (ER) - adjust until full balance - wait for release
short lever BLT thoracic supine
- index fingers on post TP of 1 below & middle fingers on TP of segment
- extend via anterior pressure until equal tension point is achieved
- R & SB into ease - minor adjustments in all planes until balance - release - neutral - reassess
epigastric thrust HVLA
- pillow against posterior TP
- pts’ hands behind neck - instruct to drop elbows forward & relax so doc takes their weight - reach into their arms
- place into barrier (induce ant translation to extend vs slumping them forward more)
- inhale - exhale - corrective thrust anterior & superior from epigastrium
knee in back HVLA
- knee against pillow against posterior TP
- pts’ hands behind neck - pt drops elbows forward & relax
- place into barrier (induce ant translation with knee to extend vs slumping them forward more)
- inhale - exhale - corrective thrust superior, anterior & slightly medial with knee
Texas twist HVLA
- stand opposite of post TP
- thenar eminence posterior & inferior to post TP, hypothenar of other hand posterior & superior to post TP
- thenar does anterior & superior force, hypothenar does inferior force
- inhale-exhale-engage barrier-repeat-corrective thrust
FPR lumbar type 1 or type 2
- fingers caudal hand over TPs (or apex for type 1) - ask pt to relax into lordotic curve
- contact shoulders (reach across)
- place into neutral
- apply compression or traction - maintain - bring into ease - hold for release (usually 3-5 secs)
supine still type 1 lumbar
- cephalad hand post TP of apex
- flex both hips & knees - further flex ipsi hip to 90 until motion isolated at apex
- ADduct ipsi leg across midline - then move cephalad hand to knee & caudal hand to ipsi ankle
- bring ipsi foot & leg toward doc creating IR of thigh, swing hip superior & produce SB of spine
- compress knee toward apex & swing ankle in (ER of thigh) & ABduct at hip then extend leg
- big circle out
supine still type 2 flexed lumbar
- cephalad fingers on posterior TP
- ipsi knee & hip flexed until motion is felt
- knee is then ADducted until ease felt
- compress thru knee toward Lspine
- circumduct leg into ABduct first, then straighten, maintaining compression
supine still type 2 extended lumbar
- cephalad hand fingers on posterior TP
- ipsi knee & hip flexed until motion is felt
- knee is then ABducted until ease felt
- compress thru knee toward Lspine
- circumduct leg into ADduct first, then straighten, maintaining compression
indirect long lever BLT lumbar supine
- cephalad hand posterior to Lspine monitor segment / caudal hand ipsi hemipelvis
- use hemipelvis:
- flex by moving hemipelvis posterior (ASIS to head)
- extend by pelvis anteriorly (ASIS to feet)
- cephalad closer to shoulder for ipsi SB / caudal to feet for contra SB
- press pelvis into table for ipsi R / lift pelvis off table for contra R - adjust all planes - release - neutral - reassess
indirect short lever BLT lumbar supine

- caudad hand bring ipsi leg into flex & Abduct (knee in axilla, wrap arm around leg)
- use leg as long lever & bring QL into ease
- wait for release, should be quick
