What does facet orientation have to do with spinal movement?

In this video I run through the three different regions of the spine and talk about the primary movements that are available in each region. I also show you how facet orientation influences the movement at each region.

This really helped me a lot, thank you :)

I always enjoy videos like these. Unfortunately, you have the cervical vertebrae oriented incorrectly; they should be oriented oblique (about 45 degree angle) facing slightly posterior, superior, and medially (not laterally). The old addage B.U.M. (backwards, upwards, medial) should help here.

Thank you so so much ☺️☺️☺️I was stuck in the thing for 2 hours that how facet orientation is affecting movements in spine.. Thanks a ton!! ❤️
Looking forward to learn more from you ☺️

Great video! Just what I was after. Thanks mate :)

If there is a fusion on l5 S1, what is the movement restriction?

Thank you! I’ve been stuck on this section of my pt course. Could you tell me which section of the spine is where the facets are orientated in the transverse plane?
Thanks

Can you please explain what is the function and movement of the T1?.

I'm trying to fix an issue there.

Thank you ✌️

This is beautiful. Thank you. I noticed you did not seem to actually show an attempt at Lumbar lateral flexion though. It would be great to also try to demonstrate even the slight axial rotations that might occur in the vertebra during lateral flexions as well, even if the skeleton won't do it on its own and you must demonstrate by grabbing a facet or two while demonstrating the flexion. Thanks so much for your contribution to humanity. <3 I'm subscribing (I wish you could put out that video today.) :}
