@Johngibbons Your techniques are simple.yet, so affective and amazing. I just used this on a patient who had thoracic pain for months, and she walked away pain free.Thank you so much 🎉
Hi John. Thanks for your compendium of techniques - very useful indeed. New Zealand physio here. Nice technique - I've used it a lot. I find I can get a fair way down the thoracic spine by modifying it - say to about T7 anyway. I use a plinth bolted to the floor - those portable massage tables are too unstable. Then buckle the sitting patient onto it with a seat belt around their pelvis. So they're thoroughly anchored. Then when leaning back, I can hook my fingers (one set of hooked fingers reinforcing the other) over each spinous process in turn, from C7 down to about T7. Because it's so stable, I can keep up a strong, sustained, specific traction of each vertebrae in turn. Say for about 30 seconds or until my fingers give out. I find this long sustained IV traction really useful for stretching tightened collagen around the tight joints. So they can stay freer better, not just tighten up again fast. You can add in more extension as part of the technique, of course.
Wanted to point out, your hands should be at T3 and T4 for the cervico thoracic translation otherwise your going to Flexion the T1 thru T3 when its extension that we want UNLESS its a straight back syndrome.
you prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@Kaison Gideon i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@John Gibbons These techniques are incredible/outstanding* doctor. Your own way of approach is well (honestly saying, i have no words to experess mine after seen your's 📽️). Nevertheless! I felt good after seen this. Moreover, i expect to know 'how to prevent🤔 ourself from this muscle injury/cramp after recovered once'. Due to it's had happen every particular circumstance unavoidably(even maintained good posture/doing exercise). Hence, i asked the chaos with you. Provide your valuable suggestions!(if possible)🤝🏻
Would thoracic mobilisation be a procedure you would undertake for someone who has a spinal cord stimulator inserted in his epidural space - and having severe neck and shoulder issues?

can we do this exercise for herniated disc
You only have herniated disc in the middle cervical area and lower two lumbar so this technique is fine to do, regards JG
The best...thanks
Thanks for the lovely message, regards JG
Is fantastic
Thanks for the message, regards JG
Does this fix thoracic facet disorder?
It will help mobilise the spine but doesn't fix anything, regards JG
Would thoracic mobilisation be a procedure you would undertake for someone who has a spinal cord stimulator inserted in his epidural space - and having severe neck and shoulder issues?
Mmmm.not sure I would if honest - unless the Doctor who did the procedure says it was ok as not come across it before, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons thank you for replying - are you please able to explain what 'headscrapes' are - specifically DNF stage 2 10 x 5 second holds headscrapes
Would this be good for hyperkyphosis?
The technique would help for sure, I do another video on thoracic treatment, which is better for you...regards JG
@@JohnGibbons thank you so much for your reply. Im always trying to improve, I just happened to come across your video.
What is this technique called?
Upper thoracic mobilisations - regards JG
Gratidão mestre
Can a PTA do these?
Not sure what a PTA is as dont have them in the UK, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons oh, physiotherapist assistant. Thanks
I’d like to receive that, and I’m not sure if I have to work that hard to mobilize the spine.
Could we safely use those for either kyphosis or scoliosis? thanks
You can as not manipulations - regards JG
Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it, regards JG
Esas manos estan bendecidas gracias 🤗🙏🤲
Hi, can you add the English version as not sure what you saying...hope you liked the video, regards JG
She is saying that your hands are blessed
Very good, I think this is very good to work on extension. Do you have a comfortable solution to go more in flection?
Thanks and you can adapt this technique easily enough to improve flexion, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons muchas gracias por esta información. Como quisiera estar Servando de allí. Para qué me ayude. Tengo un año con este dolor después que recibí radiación en la mamá, y axila yo creo q eso fue espero entienda gracias, *****
Mayby any Type of case study with diagnostic - Clinical reasoning, theraphy and retesting?
This is great what did you say though along the spine, a gulley? What is that?
Either side of the spine there is a room to fit the fingers so I call it a gulley - not an anatomical word but makes sense to me, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons oooh that makes sense to me too now I never use that word so I wondered if maybe I missed an A&P term or something I tried to google it but the light I just wasn’t spelling it correctly! Thank you for your help and awesome insight I love your videos and teaching!
Wow ,this is very helpful. But sir, how much pressure you give during these mobilization?
Depends as each patient is different, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons thank you
