Spinal manipulation of the Cervical Thoracic Junction

John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author and is demonstrating how to assess (and then subsequently manipulate) the spinal motion of the cervical dorsal junction (CDJ) using Dr Lovett (1903) and the laws or principles of Fryette (1918), John also manipulates with a HVT / Grade 5 technique to the Level of the C7/T1 that can affect the Ulna nerve. Some of these techniques can be taught but only to skilled therapists and manipulations plus more is taught on the Spinal and Pelvis course at Core Elements in Swindon (uk).

The Vital Cervical Spine Online Masterclass and 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
