Cervical Manipulation of C4/5 for my Tattooist

John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author and is demonstrating how to manipulate the cervical spine with a HVT / Grade 5 technique and he demonstrates on his tattooist.

Please note: This technique demonstrated in the video is purely a revision of how to manipulate this area of the cervical spine and is only for appropriately skilled therapists like osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists and should NOT be performed by anybody else.

There are many courses John Gibbons offers and the Vital Cervical Spine Online Masterclass is a comprehensive, must-have roadmap from firstly understanding all of the related functional anatomy, through to assessing and subsequently treating the region of the cervical spine. The course text is enriched with anatomical drawings throughout, with detailed explanations which accompany the lessons. The literature is complimented by the associated videos which further explain and expand upon topics such as neurological testing using the patella hammer, common neuropathies, pathologies, and differential diagnoses for pain arising to the cervical spine. It is an indispensable resource for physical therapists and bodyworkers.

Alongside real-life case studies and guidelines for hands-on work with clients and patients, The Vital Cervical Spine Online Masterclass demystifies and succinctly presents everything you need to know to be confident and competent in this area; from how to diagnose specific nerve conditions as a result of disc pathology to understanding how to differentiate motion from C1 & C2 (AA Joint) as compared to the rest of the cervical spine.

The Vital Cervical Spine Masterclass will enable you to:

- Assess the cervical spine nervous system using a patella (reflex) hammer, myotome (muscle) testing and dermatome (sensory) testing

- Determine whether pain in the shoulder, arm or hand is in fact a referral pattern originating from the cervical spine

- Utilise active and passive range of motion tests to determine if the pathology is a muscular or a joint issue

- Decide at what level a cervical disc may have herniated

- Know what to do with the findings of your neurological assessment and the circumstances under which to refer patients for more specialist care

Hi John, for us Osteopath Manual Therapists (not Dr.) in the US, how long would you typically hold a grade 4 mobilization technique in the cervical region. We repeat 3 times usually. Just curious on your thoughts from evidence based results you have. Thank you Sir

Aussi inutile que dangereux, je préfère voir ses mobilisations thoraciques qui elles peuvent avoir une certaine utilité dans la mobilité
