Paired levering gives the opportun ity to ‘drive’ the pelvis and effect SI Joint patterns.\n\n \n\nSeque nce 8.1\n\nLong Femoral Levers\n\nPassive Compression  ‘Stair-Stepping Walking’\n\n This is to utilize joint compression in a lighter manner. S tair stepping allow to assess how leverage moves the axial spine with a ‘push-pull’ manner.\n It can be utilized both paired and single altern ative leg\, with light push-pull to move the head in extension and flexion \n\nSequence 8.2\n\nLong Femoral Levers\n\nPaired Protocol for Lower Extre mity\n\nActive Compression-Tensional: ‘Push-Pull’\n\nSupine\n\n This t echnique is similar to ‘stair-stepping’\, however it is an active tech nique used to assess and attempt to ‘ease’ or clear a pelvic obliquity pattern.\n This pattern is considered an ‘upslip’ pattern unilaterall y.\n The technique is designed as a ‘push-pull’\, where the practition er establishes the ‘ease’ pattern of one leg in compression versus ten sion. Usually in this pattern\, whichever leg is ease in compression\, the other is ‘ease’ in tension.\n Once this is established\, the techniqu e is to use 5% force asking the client to push the compressed side and pul l the tension side.\n Wait 7-10 seconds at low force 5-10%.\n Upon release mobilize each paired opposite direction passively.\n\nSequence 8.3\n\nSho rt Femoral Lever\n\nCompression: ‘Wedge’ for SI Joint &\; Adductors Muscle Group\n\nCompound Technique\n\nThis technique was developed for th e problem a practitioner will encounter when attempting to abduct a client ’s thigh/leg outward when in the supine position.\n\nThe adductors are u sually fine if attempting to purely abduct.\n\nThe moment the practitioner attempts to externally or internally rotate the femur\, the adductors wil l usually not allow the rotation and the sensation by the client is usuall y a ‘grabbing’ feeling\n\nHow does one mitigate this ‘grabbing’ se nsation? The answer lies in creating a ‘wedge’.\n\nTwo variables need to occur.\n\n The rotation of the pelvis to the opposite side at about 20- 30°\n The verticality of placing the Hip and S.I. Joint with the aim to a ssess and relieved any anterior/posterior distortion in optimal joint play motion.\n\nTechnique\n\nCircumduction\n\n To begin\, place your medial as pect of your thigh on the table\n Ask your client to slightly roll their e ntire body as a long axis roll to the opposite side with enough clearance to place your thigh/knee on the table.\n Make sure the table height is adj usted to handle this position\n Also make sure the weight of your client i s not excessive\, so that you are unable to feel the SI Joint rest comfort ably on your inner thigh.\n Once you have the ‘wedge’ in position\, ci rcumduct the hip joint\, and usually they will be an audible ‘click’ f rom the joint motion and/or a ‘snap’ of adhesion letting go.\n\nVertic al Anterior/Posterior Restriction Active-Passive / Compression-Tension \n\ n Next assess vertical anterior/posterior movement of the Hip/S.I. Joint.\ n As before place in the ‘ease’ position\n Ask your client to resist i n the direction of ‘bind’\n Then mobilize passively in both directions .\n Re-assess for greater mobility and continue to clear distortion\n Use of force for all techniques remains at 5-10% patient effort\n No more than 3x to not overtreat.\n\n \;\n\nSequence 8.4\n\nCompression: ‘Wedge- Scour’ for SI Joint\n\nShort Femoral Lever\n\n This technique is designe d to ‘break’ up capsular adhesions by utiliising three variables: Comp ression into the joint capsule\, movement through the range of the capsule as practitioner maintains a constant compressive force\; and finally usin g internal and external rotation with constant compressive force .\n It is akin to visualizing a ‘mortar and pestle’ and grinding out the adhesi ons\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 \;\n\n \n\nSession 6 SIX\n\nSequ ence 8.5 \n\nSide Lying \n\nUnilateral 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 medial &\; lateral sleeve\n distort ion of ITB and Adductor medial sleeve.\n\n \n\nSequence 8.6\n\nSide Lying Position\n\nFemoral Long Lever Tension\n\n \n\n Ask client to push throu gh hip toward foot with 5% force\n Upon release\, lengthen slightly\n Ask client to push through hip toward foot as you slightly compress hip with l ong lever.\n Upon release\, lengthen slightly\n Now create a push-pull osc illatory motion to treat the pelvic obliquity motion\n\n \n\nSequence 8.7 \n\nJoint Receptor Enhancement Femoral Levers: \n\nSide Lying \n\nFemoral Short Levers Lumbar Spine \n\n \n\n Place in flexed knee &\; hip posit ion at 45°\n Apply paired resistive patient effort force at 5% or less to the paired knees in the following planes of motion:\n flexion/extension\n SB/Rotation\n Hip abduction/adduction\n\n \;\n\nSequence 8.7.1\n\nExt ernal Paired Rotation\n\n Ask client to resist as before.\n Passively mobi lze and articulate the motion\n\n \n\nSequence 8.8\n\nActive Paired Compr ession/Tension Extremity Levering for Combined Upper and Lower Extremity \ n\n \n\n Assess paired tension/compression of upper &\; lower extremit y levers.\n You can do this by alternating the push-pull pattern by pullin g the leg and pushing the arm and then reversing to determine ‘ease’ o r ‘bind’ motion\n Decide on barrier you wish to change utilizing the b alance between compression &\; tension.\n If the leg is in compression\ , then ask your client to push their leg simultaneously pulling the tensio ned arm at 5% force for 5-7 seconds\n Upon release of the patient force\, mobilize by passively ‘pushing’ and ‘pulling’ the arm-limb combina tion.\n\nClinical Pearl: The primary pattern is upper extremity arm ‘pul l’ with low extremity leg ‘push’. When this pattern release\, an aud ible click will be ‘felt-heard’ at the radius. This ‘gapping’ rele ase of the radius-scaphoid is normal when the pattern is engaged and relea ses.\n\n \n\nSession 7 seven\n\nCompound Releases\n\nSequence 9\n\nSequen ce 9.1\n\nThe Spiral Line Palpation\n\n \;\n\nThe spiral line loops ar ound the body in a helix\, joining one side of the skull across the back t o the opposite shoulder\, and then 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: Scapu lar ‘X’\n\nSidelying Position\n\n Palpation of the Spiral Line High Le verage Points\n Tracing the Spiral Line\n Organize applied technique to re strictions of this line\n If you are treating the right splenius capitis\, bring the left serratus anterior toward the splenius capitis whilst grasp ing the splenius in an oblique fiber orientation that matches the opposite side rhomboid.\n By considering the fiber direction and applying techniqu e to this direction\, the fascia component is engaged and considered.\n Of ten deep tissue massage is applied to the oblique fiber orientation but on ly either at rhomboid depth or not in conjunction of the continuity of dir ection with the serratus anterior and splenius capitis\,\n Scapular X:\n S plenius capitis/Serratus anterior compression for Rhombo/Serratus Post rel ease\n Serratus Anterior/External/Internal Obliques\n\n \n\n \n\nSequenc e 9.3\n\nAbdominal ‘X’\n\nSupine\n\nDiagrams to right illustrate the s piral component and the need to understand the behavior of the abdominal s piral.\n\nThe immediate left is drawn from Luigi Stecco’s Fascial Manipu ation showing not only external oblique connections\, but also with thorax and shoulder.\n\nThe far right diagram indicates a relationship with the contra-lateral adductors.\n\nThis release can start with a more basic emph asis\, engaging the ipsilateral external oblique with the contralateral in ternal oblique.\n\nThe pattern of engagement begins with:\n\n Place both h ands in an oblique directions.\n The application can be applied in two fun damental ways\n\n Both hands travel in the same oblique directions as a un it\n Both hands move together or move apart depending on the ‘ease’ di rection\n Once ascertained which barrier is to be released\, apply as a si mple static compression. ( two variables: compression which is already app lied and the direction into a barrier)\n\n\n Check contralateral EO/IO rel ationship on the other side.\n\n \n\nSequence 10\n\nSacrum-Lumbar Spine ‘Curling ‘Releases\n\n \;\n\nThe ‘Curl-up’ came about attempti ng to balance an Autonomic Nervous System release that had overall parasym pathetic effect systemic effect with a positional release technique for th e sacrum-lumbar spine.\n\n \;\n\nThe ‘art’ is getting your client to relax and let you place them 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 therapeutic and potentially emotional ‘charged’ po sition.\n\nIt also puts the practitioner in a position of therapeutic ‘i ntimacy’ with the client.\n\nThe ‘act’ of allowing oneself to comple tely relax and let go into a ‘fetal’ position is very powerful.\n\n&nb sp\;\n\nIf you are able to place them in this position\, you may find your self ‘holding’ the position for up to 2-3 minutes.\n\n \;\n\nOnce you have felt the ANS response\, the positional release PR is to have the client  allow the practitioner to circle the paired legs in rotational an d ‘swiveling’ motion until a lumbar spine release\, ‘letting go’\, occurs.\n\n \n\nSequence 10.1\n\nPassive\n\nRolling Motion Releases \n\n ‘Curl-Ups’\n\nSide Lying to Supine rolling Release\n\n \n\n Assess ba rriers to motion\n Assess flexion/extension for pelvis\n Assess pelvic rot ation\n Assess pelvic ‘swivel’\n\n \n\n \n\nSequence 10.2:  \n\nAct ive\n\nFlexed Hip Swivel Oscillation for the Sacrum\n\nSupine\n\n Assess ‘Swivel’ of the sacrum by turning paired flexed knees together in a ro tational manner\n Place in ease position barrier &\; apply downward com pression to engage barrier\n Low load resistive is applied in both rotatio nal directions\n Cross one leg over the other and assess for which crossed -over leg is bind and which is ease.\n Engage the ease position and await release\n\n \;\n\n \n\nSequence 11\n\nCross Leg Techniques\n\nSequenc e 11.1\n\nPaired Cross Leg\n\nLong Lever (Straight-Leg) Both Femoral Lever s\n\n Assess which cross legged position is bind and which position is eas e\n Lift both legs in this position and engage barrier-await release point \n\n \n\nSequence 11.2\n\nPaired Cross Leg\n\nLong Lever (Straight-Leg) B oth Femoral Levers with Rotation\n\n Assess which cross legged position is bind and which position is ease\n Lift both legs in this position and eng age barrier-await release point\n\n \n\n \n\nSequence 11.3\n\nPaired Lon g Lever (Straight Leg) with Short Lever (Bent-Knee) for Lower Extremity\n\ n Assess ease position and engage barrier\n Assess pelvic rotation\n Asses s which cross legged position is bind and which position is ease\n Lift bo th legs in this position and engage barrier-await release point\n Lift bot h legs in this position and engage pelvic rotation in ease\n Once release occurs\, switch legs\, the bind position should be more amenable for engag ing compression.\n\n \n\nSequence 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 bind and which is ease.\n Engage the ease positi on 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 the liver on the contralateral side.\n\nMeet fi rst levels of resistance only.\n\nDo not attempt to force technique\n\nPla ce one hand with three fingers as a unit\, sing the side of the fingers to access first level of fascial restriction.\n\nWith the other hand bring s kin over costal ribs\, and using both hands as a unit\, explore the margin s to the central tendon.\n\nWork with the breath. This includes forced exh alation.  The diaphragm is a muscle\, and therefore should be treated as a muscle. It has expansion and contraction\, it descends on the inhalation breath and ascends on exhalation out breath.\n\nIn class we will work wit h the low intercostals wrapping our fingers under the ribcage to ‘peel b ack’ with ‘shifting’ motion and modified MET.\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSequenc e 12.2\n\nPsoas Release\n\n \n\nSequence 12.3\n\nIllacus Tendon\n\n\n\n\n Sequence 12.4\n\nPectineus\n\nSequence 12.5\n\nObdurators Release                  \n\n \n\nSequence 12.6\n\nAdductor Magnus\n\n\n\ n\nSequence 13\n\nSpiral Line Release for Upper Extremity – Stecco Spira ls\n\n \n\nPosterior view with dotted lines anterior portion of view\n\n& nbsp\;\n\nSequence 13.1\n\n \;\n\nTrace this spiral running your hand over the pathway in a light efferauge glide.\n\n \;\n\nSliding glide s trokes are effective\, as you trace the line.\n\n \;\n\nSequence 13.2\ n\nTricep-Olecranon ‘X’\n\n \n\nThe ‘X’ patterns\n\n \;\n\n S teven is very helpful in terms of individuals putting the basics together. \n Very interesting\, friendly &\; accessible.
