12 C/I s s and S/E s Contra Indications: Lack of consent/patient veto Local tissue trauma (e.g. #) + pain Side Effects: Soreness/aching (common) Serious debilitating outcomes (remote)

13 So, what does it look like? Is it that simple? Not quite!

14 Sensing hand Key Components Monitors tissue response Introduction of a force vector External compression or traction (5lbs/2kg) to the restricted tissue Maintained throughout the technique Operating hand Introduces the force vector Moves the tissue past barrier through its full ROM

15 Step-by by-step guide Find initial position of ease (ease = position/function of the lesion or least TTP) Add force vector Go to and then through the restriction (reverse all applied levers) Hear or feel a release Return to neutral and retest

16 e.g. the radio-humeral joint Levers? Initial position of ease? Add force vector Reverse levers Retest

17 Key points to remember Maintain compression or traction Full ROM Slow and fluent application Reassess Repeat?

18 OMT Re-cap Application = universal C/I and S/E = usual Starts with ease Applies a force vector throughout Applies a Goes up to and through the restriction
