How to Manipulate the Thoracic Spine

John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author and is discussing how to manipulate the thoracic spine. Some of these techniques can be taught but only to skilled therapists and manipulations plus more is taught on the Spinal course at Core Elements in swindon. The technique demonstrated is called a thoracic thrust or an AP thrust.

Bodymaster Method ® Courses are now ONLINE!

I’ve been calling these courses a culmination of my life’s work, and they really are and I’ve poured all my expertise into each of them – everything I’ve learnt as an osteopath, as a writer, and as a lecturer – to ensure that the quality of learning is no less than what you’ve come to expect from The Bodymaster.

And with my hand on my heart, I have to say that I truly believe the format and content are exceptional.

Many of my clinic-based Courses are now available to take ONLINE, and I’m working hard on the others.

All courses are fully accredited through the Sports Therapy organisation (STO) and count towards your Bodymaster Method ® Diploma. Each includes a full-colour PDF copy of my published book relating to the course, which I personally take you through chapter-by-chapter with accompanying HD video lectures and demonstrations.

Once you have completed all the courses you will be able to call yourself a Bodymaster Method ® Practitioner and be registered on his website with the letters 'BmP' after your name.

I love that he's so gentle with him. All these other people look so rough with the patient.

I'm a final Year Chiro student and tried this adjustment on my Brother, works amazingly well especially if a patient is unable to lie down prone, this is a wonderful alternative for a T spine adjustment. Love your teachings!
