2 techniques you could use to help with this?
- subscapularis techniques (2)
📌📌
- pec major muscle play
- pec minor manipulation (not the best choice tho) - - You have a patient
with tight internal rotators and limited ER of the shoulder. What are 2 techniques
that you could use to address the soft tissue restrictions that could limit ER?
- greater trochanter rocking
📌📌
- piriformis techniques (3)
- ITB/paratrochanteric manipulation - - You have a patient with limited
internal rotation of the hip and tightness in the soft tissue of the lateral hip. What
are 2 techniques you could use to address this?
📌📌
- sacral release techniques (3)
- piriformis techniques (3) - - You have a patient with SIJ dysfunction and
tightness in the piriformis as well as along the sacral border. What are 2
techniques you could use to address this impairment?
- lateral fascial distraction of the tibia
- lateral elongation of peroneal tissue
📌📌
- cross friction of the gastroc/soleus MTJ
- gastroc muscle play - - You have a patient that has recently been
immobilized in a boot. This boot is now removed, but the patient demonstrates a
, - myofascial manipulation of the HS (3) - 📌📌 - The patient presents 6 weeks s/p
proximal HS strain with tendinopathy and tight HS. What are 2 techniques you
could use to address the tendon, as well as prepare the muscle for stretching?
- unilateral P/A articulation of first rib
📌📌
- first rib/shoulder depression rocking technique
- anterior fascial elongation of superficial fascia - - The patient presents with
limited shoulder elevation. What are 2 techniques that could potentially help with
this impairment?
- iliac crest release - power grip
📌📌
- QL non-aggressive techniques (3)
- QL aggressive techniques (3) - - The patient presents with limited side
bending. What are 2 techniques that could potentially help with a SB limitation?
- elbow-forearm technique/medial-lateral elongation
📌📌
- laminar release techniques (3)
- iliac crest release - power grip - - The patient presents with limited forward
bending of the lumbar spine. What are 2 techniques that could help improve
FWB?
- psoas release
- iliacus release
📌📌
- iliac crest release - hip extension or bony clearing prone
- superficial elongation of caudal trunk - - The patient presents with limited
hip extension. What are 2 techniques that could lead to improvement in hip
extension?
- elbow-forearm technique/medial-lateral elongation
- superficial long axis distraction of connective tissue of the spine
- long axis laminar release
📌📌
- laminar release (3)
- iliac crest release - power grip - - The patient presents with limited mobility
of the skin and superficial fascia of the lumbar spine limiting FWB and posterior
pelvic tilting. What is 1 technique to address this impairment?
- scapular framing (3)
📌📌
- lateral elongation of upper thoracic/pecs/fascia
- thoracic rotation laminar release - - The patient has been in a sling for 6
weeks and demonstrates limited scapular mobility. What is 1 technique you could
use to address tight soft tissues around the scapula prior to performing scapular
mobs?
- thoracic rotation laminar release
- bilateral upper thoracic release
