I am a young aspiring physiotherapist and i suffer from seeing all those tutorials and it always looks like it is easy af. I spend a lot of time outside of work to improve my technique since when i once mentioned that i am just too weak my coworkers said its all about the technique. I hope one day ill be as good as all you youtube short makers.

Great to hear someone talk about the actual source of the cavitation (facet joint)- not all of the other crazy things people try to say around the topic.

2 min video and better than every thing I watched combined. Do have like this videos?

[mike]

Enjoy the videos! Remember, it doesn't matter how good you are at HVT's, theres no way we can truly be certain that we are isolating a particular level or segment.

How do I find a Dr. Like you in WA state? Ive been to 6 chiropractors over 7 months none of them do this manipulation. what do I ask for when calling for a Dr to help me 😭

[ΠαναγιωτηςΣιναπιδης-σρ]

Excellent demo John . I want to ask you something . I saw an other video of you about ilium mobilization on the iliac and the technique was similar to this . What is the exact difference of l4-l5 and sacroiliac joint manipulation ?
