P aired levering gives the opportunity to ‘drive’ the pelvis and effect SI Joint patterns.\n\n \n\nSequence 8.1\n\nLong Femoral Levers\n\nPassive Compression  ‘Stair-Stepping Walking’\n\n This is to utilize joint c ompression in a lighter manner. Stair stepping allow to assess how leverag e moves the axial spine with a ‘push-pull’ manner.\n It can be utilize d both paired and single alternative leg\, with light push-pull to move th e head in extension and flexion\n\nSequence 8.2\n\nLong Femoral Levers\n\n Paired Protocol for Lower Extremity\n\nActive Compression-Tensional: ‘Pu sh-Pull’\n\nSupine\n\n This technique is similar to ‘stair-stepping’ \, however it is an active technique used to assess and attempt to ‘ease ’ or clear a pelvic obliquity pattern.\n This pattern is considered an ‘upslip’ pattern unilaterally.\n The technique is designed as a ‘pus h-pull’\, where the practitioner establishes the ‘ease’ pattern of o ne leg in compression versus tension. Usually in this pattern\, whichever leg is ease in compression\, the other is ‘ease’ in tension.\n Once th is is established\, the technique is to use 5% force asking the client to push the compressed side and pull the tension side.\n Wait 7-10 seconds at low force 5-10%.\n Upon release mobilize each paired opposite direction p assively.\n\nSequence 8.3\n\nShort Femoral Lever\n\nCompression: ‘Wedge ’ for SI Joint &\; Adductors Muscle Group\n\nCompound Technique\n\nTh is technique was developed for the problem a practitioner will encounter w hen attempting to abduct a client’s thigh/leg outward when in the supine position.\n\nThe adductors are usually fine if attempting to purely abduc t.\n\nThe moment the practitioner attempts to externally or internally rot ate the femur\, the adductors will usually not allow the rotation and the sensation by the client is usually a ‘grabbing’ feeling\n\nHow does on e mitigate this ‘grabbing’ sensation? The answer lies in creating a ‘wedge’.\n\nTwo variables need to occur.\n\n The rotation of the pelvi s to the opposite side at about 20-30°\n The verticality of placing the H ip and S.I. Joint with the aim to assess and relieved any anterior/posteri or distortion in optimal joint play motion.\n\nTechnique\n\nCircumduction\ n\n To begin\, place your medial aspect of your thigh on the table\n Ask y our client to slightly roll their entire body as a long axis roll to the o pposite side with enough clearance to place your thigh/knee on the table.\ n Make sure the table height is adjusted to handle this position\n Also ma ke sure the weight of your client is not excessive\, so that you are unabl e to feel the SI Joint rest comfortably on your inner thigh.\n Once you ha ve the ‘wedge’ in position\, circumduct the hip joint\, and usually th ey will be an audible ‘click’ from the joint motion and/or a ‘snap ’ of adhesion letting go.\n\nVertical Anterior/Posterior Restriction Act ive-Passive / Compression-Tension \n\n Next assess vertical anterior/poste rior movement of the Hip/S.I. Joint.\n As before place in the ‘ease’ p osition\n Ask your client to resist in the direction of ‘bind’\n Then mobilize passively in both directions.\n Re-assess for greater mobility an d continue to clear distortion\n Use of force for all techniques remains a t 5-10% patient effort\n No more than 3x to not overtreat.\n\n \;\n\nS equence 8.4\n\nCompression: ‘Wedge-Scour’ for SI Joint\n\nShort Femora l Lever\n\n This technique is designed to ‘break’ up capsular adhesion s by utiliising three variables: Compression into the joint capsule\, move ment through the range of the capsule as practitioner maintains a constant compressive force\; and finally using internal and external rotation with constant compressive force .\n It is akin to visualizing a ‘mortar and pestle’ and grinding out the adhesions\n I use a clock-face motion. That is\, I move in diagonal directions. 12 to 6\, 1 to 7\, 8 to 2\, 9 to 3.\n Make sure you can bring knee across into adduction\, then abduction.\n\n& nbsp\;\n\n \n\nSession 6 SIX\n\nSequence 8.5 \n\nSide Lying \n\nUnilatera l Femoral Long Levers Compression\n\n \n\n Neutral long lever\n Twist in the Sleeve\n Medial Femoral Rotation\n Lateral Femoral Rotation\n Assess m edial &\; lateral sleeve\n distortion of ITB and Adductor medial sleeve .\n\n \n\nSequence 8.6\n\nSide Lying Position\n\nFemoral Long Lever Tensi on\n\n \n\n Ask client to push through hip toward foot with 5% force\n Up on release\, lengthen slightly\n Ask client to push through hip toward foo t as you slightly compress hip with long lever.\n Upon release\, lengthen slightly\n Now create a push-pull oscillatory motion to treat the pelvic o bliquity motion\n\n \n\nSequence 8.7\n\nJoint Receptor Enhancement Femora l Levers: \n\nSide Lying \n\nFemoral Short Levers Lumbar Spine \n\n \n\n Place in flexed knee &\; hip position at 45°\n Apply paired resistive patient effort force at 5% or less to the paired knees in the following pl anes of motion:\n flexion/extension\n SB/Rotation\n Hip abduction/adductio n\n\n \;\n\nSequence 8.7.1\n\nExternal Paired Rotation\n\n Ask client to resist as before.\n Passively mobilze and articulate the motion\n\n&nbs p\;\n\nSequence 8.8\n\nActive Paired Compression/Tension Extremity Leverin g for Combined Upper and Lower Extremity \n\n \n\n Assess paired tension/ compression of upper &\; lower extremity levers.\n You can do this by a lternating the push-pull pattern by pulling the leg and pushing the arm an d then reversing to determine ‘ease’ or ‘bind’ motion\n Decide on barrier you wish to change utilizing the balance between compression &\ ; tension.\n If the leg is in compression\, then ask your client to push t heir leg simultaneously pulling the tensioned arm at 5% force for 5-7 seco nds\n Upon release of the patient force\, mobilize by passively ‘pushing ’ and ‘pulling’ the arm-limb combination.\n\nClinical Pearl: The pri mary pattern is upper extremity arm ‘pull’ with low extremity leg ‘p ush’. When this pattern release\, an audible click will be ‘felt-heard ’ at the radius. This ‘gapping’ release of the radius-scaphoid is no rmal when the pattern is engaged and releases.\n\n \n\nSession 7 seven\n\ nCompound Releases\n\nSequence 9\n\nSequence 9.1\n\nThe Spiral Line Palpat ion\n\n \;\n\nThe spiral line loops around the body in a helix\, joini ng one side of the skull across the back to the opposite shoulder\, and th en across the front of the same hip\, knee\, &\; foot arch\, running up the back of the body to rejoin the fascia on the cranium. We will address just one important spiral release below\, the Scapular ‘X’.\n\n \ ;\n\nSequence 9.2\n\nSpiral Line Release: Scapular ‘X’\n\nSidelying Po sition\n\n Palpation of the Spiral Line High Leverage Points\n Tracing the Spiral Line\n Organize applied technique to restrictions of this line\n I f you are treating the right splenius capitis\, bring the left serratus an terior toward the splenius capitis whilst grasping the splenius in an obli que fiber orientation that matches the opposite side rhomboid.\n By consid ering the fiber direction and applying technique to this direction\, the f ascia component is engaged and considered.\n Often deep tissue massage is applied to the oblique fiber orientation but only either at rhomboid depth or not in conjunction of the continuity of direction with the serratus an terior and splenius capitis\,\n Scapular X:\n Splenius capitis/Serratus an terior compression for Rhombo/Serratus Post release\n Serratus Anterior/Ex ternal/Internal Obliques\n\n \n\n \n\nSequence 9.3\n\nAbdominal ‘X’\ n\nSupine\n\nDiagrams to right illustrate the spiral component and the nee d to understand the behavior of the abdominal spiral.\n\nThe immediate lef t is drawn from Luigi Stecco’s Fascial Manipuation showing not only exte rnal oblique connections\, but also with thorax and shoulder.\n\nThe far r ight diagram indicates a relationship with the contra-lateral adductors.\n \nThis release can start with a more basic emphasis\, engaging the ipsilat eral external oblique with the contralateral internal oblique.\n\nThe patt ern of engagement begins with:\n\n Place both hands in an oblique directio ns.\n The application can be applied in two fundamental ways\n\n Both hand s travel in the same oblique directions as a unit\n Both hands move togeth er or move apart depending on the ‘ease’ direction\n Once ascertained which barrier is to be released\, apply as a simple static compression. ( two variables: compression which is already applied and the direction into a barrier)\n\n\n Check contralateral EO/IO relationship on the other side .\n\n \n\nSequence 10\n\nSacrum-Lumbar Spine ‘Curling ‘Releases\n\n&n bsp\;\n\nThe ‘Curl-up’ came about attempting to balance an Autonomic N ervous System release that had overall parasympathetic effect systemic eff ect with a positional release technique for the sacrum-lumbar spine.\n\n&n bsp\;\n\nThe ‘art’ is getting your client to relax and let you place t hem in a curled position.\n\nThe ‘difficulty’ for the practitioner is handling your clients weight\, and to do so in a manner in which both the client and practitioner can relax.\n\n \;\n\nThis is a highly therapeu tic and potentially emotional ‘charged’ position.\n\nIt also puts the practitioner in a position of therapeutic ‘intimacy’ with the client.\ n\nThe ‘act’ of allowing oneself to completely relax and let go into a ‘fetal’ position is very powerful.\n\n \;\n\nIf you are able to p lace them in this position\, you may find yourself ‘holding’ the posit ion for up to 2-3 minutes.\n\n \;\n\nOnce you have felt the ANS respon se\, the positional release PR is to have the client  allow the practitio ner to circle the paired legs in rotational and ‘swiveling’ motion unt il a lumbar spine release\, ‘letting go’\, occurs.\n\n \n\nSequence 1 0.1\n\nPassive\n\nRolling Motion Releases \n\n‘Curl-Ups’\n\nSide Lying to Supine rolling Release\n\n \n\n Assess barriers to motion\n Assess fl exion/extension for pelvis\n Assess pelvic rotation\n Assess pelvic ‘swi vel’\n\n \n\n \n\nSequence 10.2:  \n\nActive\n\nFlexed Hip Swivel Osc illation for the Sacrum\n\nSupine\n\n Assess ‘Swivel’ of the sacrum by turning paired flexed knees together in a rotational manner\n Place in ea se position barrier &\; apply downward compression to engage barrier\n Low load resistive is applied in both rotational directions\n Cross one le g over the other and assess for which crossed-over leg is bind and which i s ease.\n Engage the ease position and await release\n\n \;\n\n \n\nS equence 11\n\nCross Leg Techniques\n\nSequence 11.1\n\nPaired Cross Leg\n\ nLong Lever (Straight-Leg) Both Femoral Levers\n\n Assess which cross legg ed position is bind and which position is ease\n Lift both legs in this po sition and engage barrier-await release point\n\n \n\nSequence 11.2\n\nPa ired Cross Leg\n\nLong Lever (Straight-Leg) Both Femoral Levers with Rotat ion\n\n Assess which cross legged position is bind and which position is e ase\n Lift both legs in this position and engage barrier-await release poi nt\n\n \n\n \n\nSequence 11.3\n\nPaired Long Lever (Straight Leg) with S hort Lever (Bent-Knee) for Lower Extremity\n\n Assess ease position and en gage barrier\n Assess pelvic rotation\n Assess which cross legged position is bind and which position is ease\n Lift both legs in this position and engage barrier-await release point\n Lift both legs in this position and e ngage pelvic rotation in ease\n Once release occurs\, switch legs\, the bi nd position should be more amenable for engaging compression.\n\n \n\nSeq uence 11.4\n\nPaired Short Lever (Bent-Knee) for Lower Extremity\n\n \n\n Cross one leg over the other and assess for which crossed-over leg is bin d and which is ease.\n Engage the ease position and await release\n\n  \;\n\nSequence 12 \n\nDeep Front Line\n\n \n\nSequence 12.1\n\nDiaphragm Release\n\n \;\n\nTreat the splenic side first due the proximity of th e liver on the contralateral side.\n\nMeet first levels of resistance only .\n\nDo not attempt to force technique\n\nPlace one hand with three finger s as a unit\, sing the side of the fingers to access first level of fascia l restriction.\n\nWith the other hand bring skin over costal ribs\, and us ing both hands as a unit\, explore the margins to the central tendon.\n\nW ork with the breath.
