We’ve been reviewing pressure and volume shifts throughout the pelvis that influence the pelvic diaphragm shape, position, and movement. In this video, we move up to the thorax to address the thorax movement, shape change, and airflow mechanics that occur with cutting to the side and a baseball throw. Just as we talk about propulsion, […]
How to Perform a Scapular Decompression Mobilization to Promote Dorsal-Rostral Expansion
Compensatory breathing strategies may result in an increase in the muscular concentric orientation that compresses the dorsal-rostral thorax. Common findings include limited ipsilateral lower cervical rotation, ipsilateral shoulder flexion, and limited horizontal shoulder abduction. In many cases, a diagnosis of shoulder or rotator cuff impingement may be associated as well. If your client is unable […]
The How, When, and Why To Do a Suboccipital Release Manual Therapy Technique
There may be multiple factors a play as to why any manual therapy may be useful. To simplify the model of application, right or wrong, we can just look at it as moving fluids in and out of a space or promoting concentric or eccentric orientation of muscles. A suboccipital release is a commonly applied […]
