Regardless of the affected side, could one just find the least ROM in either ext or flexion then MET would be to have pt look opposite the direction therapist would move head into (x 3-5 sets of 10 sec holds)? THX!!!!!
I was wondering the same if it's treatable with MET or does it need to be thrusted. I believe MET could work great. I would love a video about the treatment of these cervical distinctions.
@@FindNShare If you do MET and a hard restriction remains, then HVLA is the next step. If the restriction is elastic, then a second attempt at MET or a different modality is indicated.
I am wondering if you could clarify something that keeps me confused. Step 1: testing in neutral left to right and finding the restriction. Step 2 : retesting the restriction in extension: is there a restriction ? Yes : it's the left facette that doesn't want to close. It's fixed open. Why would it not be the right facette that is fixed open instead ? Same thing for flexion : if there is a restriction. It means that right facette is fixed closed. Why would it not be the left facette that is fixed closed. My logic is that if we are trying to open or close both facettes during flexion and extension. How did we decide which side it's fixed ? Am I making sense? I appreciate your answer. And thank you so much for all the great contents! You're amazing.
