Manual Therapy to Eliminate Multiple Nerve Compression Patterns
of the Upper and Lower Body
State-of-the-art anatomy and nerve graphics will allow manual therapists to look inside the human body. Starting with the brain and spinal cord, therapists will use positional release and soft tissue balancing protocols to address OA & C1-C2 fixations, cervical kyphosis (military neck), spinal stenosis patterns, stuck facet joints, and treat sprains and strains throughout the body. Nerve tests include: the Spurling Test: spinal nerve compression; Eden’s Test: Costo-clavicular syndrome; Adson’s Test: scalene and first rib involvement; Wright Abduction Test: pectoralis minor involvement; Tests to identify Cubital Tunnel and Guyon’s Canal (ulnar tunnel) conditions; Pronator Teres Test: median nerve entrapment; and Tests for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  Complicated shoulder capsular adhesions will also be addressed. For the Lower Body, The Supine to sit test will evaluate for functional versus anatomical leg length discrepancies. Pelvic stabilization will be used to address sacral torsion patterns, iliosacral upslips, joint capsular patterns, femoral nerve compression, and normal muscle firing patterns. Therapists will level the sacral base and release the Sacrotuberous ligament for sciatic nerve pain. The Straight Leg Test will identify L5/ SI bulges or herniated discs. The Slump Test will identify hamstring strains that scar down the Sciatic Nerve. Tibial Torsions and Fixated Fibular Head Conditions will be corrected by releasing the biceps femoris muscle to address the Tibial and Fibular Nerve Entrapments. Manual therapists will also evaluate and release the Tarasal Tunnel and Morton’s Neuroma. Home care retraining will include spinal decompression, along with nerve glides and nerve tensioning protocol
