John!! amazing to see your back, hope you are well. Thanks for all your videos. Have been watching your previous ones for awhile now and seeing these new uploads is awesome!!! Take care John! You have been a huge help :)
and also I just wanted to say - if you were after any ideas a series like that knee assessment in 10 minutes for all the body parts would be incredible!
Been following your work since my advanced massage CPD taught by osteopath jo Perkins at Cardiff Met Uni. I’ve been incorporating your MET’s in most of my massage treatments lately at my well-being studio. Thanks so much for sharing with us! Love your work
Take them to a position that doesn't cause pain, the patient can also activate the antagonist muscle as this will reduce pain within the agonist you are lengthening. Hope that helps, regards JG
Hi Do you you organise one day course for Met,soft tissue release, trigger point,myofascia? I'm a level 4 practitioner but I would like a day where I can refresh all techniques. Thanks
Hllo sir ...in forward head posture , mostly people have or doing daily life acitiveits in forward head posture which increase tension in levator scapulai ..thats has to work more .. So i think streching is not good for this becoz already in streched position .. Plz clear my doubt
Yes if you have a forward head posture and the typical upper crossed syndrome then the levator scapulae is working more eccentrically so stretching might make the situation worse. regards JG
Could issues causing drooping of the shoulder, even hip/ posture issues cause false results from this assessment though , shortening the range of movement and giving the illusion of tight or shortened muscles but in reality it is the muscles near there end range until the shoulder or posture is raised into the optimal position so they can function properly.
Thanks for the comments and yes of course what you have said is correct - the muscle tightness can simply be a symptom and the cause is another issue like the pelvis position etc, regards JG
They are similar in one respect - METs have originated from the Osteopaths and PNF from the physiotherapists, PNF tends to be more of a contracture of the muscles - where METs tends to be around 20% effort of the muscle and more specific in my option, regards JG
I have herniated disc in my neck. I wake up with sore neck muscles and trapezius upper shoulders and shoulder muscles. What should I do besides these exercises?
Mr Gibbons, you treated the right side (from your perspective) instead of the left side, even though the left side is supposed to be tight? So if I feel tightness on my left side I have to lengthen/stretch the right side? Best Regards
if lets say the lateral flexion to the left is restricted (meaning while trying to lower your left ear to your left shoulder you feel a tightness on the right) you have to treat/stretch the right side. Basically follow the video. If the lateral flexion to the right is restricted the other way around

If a patient can´t hold the 25 seconds due to pain, what another option do we have?
Take them to a position that doesn't cause pain, the patient can also activate the antagonist muscle as this will reduce pain within the agonist you are lengthening. Hope that helps, regards JG
Great job
Thanks, regards JG

What's the difference between PNF and MET
They are similar in one respect - METs have originated from the Osteopaths and PNF from the physiotherapists, PNF tends to be more of a contracture of the muscles - where METs tends to be around 20% effort of the muscle and more specific in my option, regards JG
