[malka]

Thank you for all of your wonderfull videos i am always beneffit by your wonderful explanations. Do you work only on one side ? concerning the facet joints... her lumbar is in extension (as you mentioned and can be seen ) and if the facets are closed at the left they are also side bended at the left. So what you did was it actually activating her on the close side to be opened ?and assisting in side bending to the right in this case? (Without hvt)? How is it possible to open facet joint by gliding this way? Can you explain please?i cant understand the mechanism behind... since there is no rotation .thank you so much
