OMM Cards for Cumulative Precomp Block 3

Summary of how to diagnose cervical

OA: rotation and Sidebending are always opposite with a flexion and extension component (type 1 like)

AA: only rational component

2-7: extension or flexion, but rotation and Sidebending are on the same side (type 2 like)

If L 5 is in flexion, what does that correspond to

Forward sacral torsion

Translation refers to

Sidebending

How do you treat T4 NRrSl

1Go to the spinous process of T4 and go ½ a level up to find the transverse process

2stand on the opposite side so you don’t cross the spine

3 sidebend them right

4 opposite over adjacent relative to the doctor

5 move elbow down for a type 1 dysfunction (and up for a type 2)

For thoracic 1-3 (sometimes 4) how do you do met ?

Use the head

Diagnosis based on L5

The direction of Sidebending stays the same (it becomes the axis for the sacrum) and the rotational component is opposite

Mnemonic for key rib

BITE

MET for rib 1 for an inhalation dysfunction set up

FStRa

Don’t move further into the barrier

Resist inhalation

MET for rib 2-6 for an inhalation dysfunction set up

FSt

Counterstrain for anterior cervical 1 (behind the mandible)

Rotate away

Counterstrain for anterior cervical 2-6

F SaRa

Counterstrain for anterior cervical 7

F StRa

Inflation set up for ribs 7-10 inhalation dysfunction

Sidebend towards

Have the patients arm out

Counterstrain for anterior cervical 8

FSaRa

MET for rib 11-12 for an inhalation dysfunction set up

St (legs to the side of disfunction)

“Karate chop up” gently

MET for ribs 1-2 for an exhalation dysfunction works on which muscle

Scalenes

MET for ribs 3-5 for an exhalation dysfunction works on which muscle
