Soft Tissue, Myofascial release, Muscle Energy, HVLA, Stills Technique
Name 5 Indirect OMM Techniques
Myofascial release, BLT, FPR, Still’s Technique, Counterstrain
What OMM technique(s) use Active Activating Force ?
MET only!
Soft Tissue technique
passive/active?
direct/indirect?
Passive
•Direct, Repetitive
soft tissue technique direction of force, duration of force?
Direction of Force –Duration of Force
- Longitudinal –usually 1-2 seconds and release
- Perpendicular –usually 1-2 seconds and release
- Inhibitory–hold until tissues release
Myofascial release
passive/active?
direct/indirect?
- Passive, but Active if integrated neuromuscular release added
- Direct or Indirect, non-repetitive
Myofascial release additions
how many planes treated?
release enhancing maneuvers?
- 3-Dimensional diagnosis treated in 3 planes
- Add release enhancing maneuvers (breathing)
- Add Integrated Neuromuscular Release (activating related muscles to more quickly/effectively release myofascial restrictions)
Articulation
passive/active?
direct/indirect?
- Passive
- Direct, Repetitive
Articulation
direction of force?
- Into the restrictive barrier, then release, repeat until physiologic motion is restored
- Usually a second of force, a second of relax
Muscle Energy
passive/active?
direct/indirect?
- Active
- Direct, Repetitive
Muscle energy
how many types?
describe the most common type
- 9 different types
- Most common type –post-isometric relaxation
- Activation 3-5 seconds 3-5 times –patient force
- Remember to let patient relax to have the technique work
balanced ligamentous tension
passive/active?
direct/indirect?
- Passive
- Indirect, non-repetitive
BLT activating force
•Place in position of ease
Activating force –Breathing, inherent forces
Facilitated Positional Release
passive/active?
direct/indirect?
- Passive
- Indirect, non-repetitive
FPR steps
•Flatten the curve, add compression, place in an indirect position, hold for 5 seconds, release and return to neutral
Stills Technique
passive/active?
direct/indirect?
- Passive
- Indirect to direct, non-repetitive
Stills technique steps
Place in indirect position, add compression or traction, move through restrictive barrier to physiologic barrier
Counterstrain
passive/active?
direct/indirect?
- Passive
- Indirect, non-repetitive
Counterstrain steps
Find a significant tenderpoint, establish a pain scale, place patient in position of ease, hold for 90 seconds, SLOWLY return to normal, recheck.
HVLA
passive/active?
direct/indirect?
- Passive
- Direct, non-repetitive•Direct into the restrictive barrier, quick thrust through restrictive barrier to the physiologic barrier
Cranial - OA
sb and r - opposite or same?
- OA
- Flexion or extension
- Sidebending and rotation to OPPOSITE directions
