Spinal Manipulation to the Thoracic Spine

John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author and is discussing how to assess (and then subsequently manipulate) the spinal motion of the thoracic spine using Dr Lovett (1903) and the laws or principles of Fryette (1918), John also manipulates with a HVT / Grade 5 technique to the thoracic spine and rib cage. 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.

Dr Gibbons is amazing teacher. I have his books as physical therapist, use his techniques in my practice

[snacklepussPSN]

The problem with this practice is there's not enough people doing it.

[oiolome]

I’ve need this for about a decade now 😅

[T.Pauleus]

I did this with my younger brother, it worked so well bro hasn’t walked since

[kevindigo]

Should be a disclaimer on this....do NOT try this at home LOL

[deiseribeirodei]

Meu fisioterapeuta fez isso em mim e foi alívio imediato! Estalou tudo, deu um medo, mas no fim foi fenomenal! Profissional experiente, delicado e preciso é outro nível!

Teacher, l can be your guinea pig, please ...my phone # is I-NEED-YOU-YA 🤭

[CalifornianBirdRN]

Love how he keep talking but we patients don't care ☹️

[dr.s.p.]

Yes it cracked at 0:39 - 0:40. Listen carefully! He’s part of the class and expects a cavitation and so won’t suddenly jump up and go “Wow!” And wide eyed. I find not too many people react on any cavitation except maybe interest, unless it’s the first time. After all; it doesn’t hurt does it!?

Hitman's typical Friday after a long week.

They all looking with their phones. Not their eyes.

This is so incredible.. I just started going to a chiropractor and its amazing how beneficial its been.

[monkfitness]

Spain pain problem ...very heavy in all humans ...

[Spacetime]

Finally a teacher in the art of being a chiropractor instead of ring dingers whatever they are… 😌

[Zeus]

One hell of a pat on the back after that pop lmoa😅

[Dave_Outside]

The thing is there is no legitimate scientific evidence that this really does anything for you. Unfortunately the chiropractic field is full of quackery. Some of it seems ok but a lot is just BS.
