2 Rotational Forces: their impact, our treatment 1. Let s move through it: a. Exercise 1. i. Walking ii. Bending iii. Reaching iv. Bending and rotation 2. Small group analysis: a look at some athletes a. Exercise 2: Look at your assigned picture(s) and answer these questions: i. What is rotating? ii. What muscles are involved: what engages; what lets go? iii. What boney structures are moving or not? iv. What can restrict these motions? (be specific) b. Large group discussion of findings. 3. Rotation starts at the spine: a closer look: a. Exercise 3: seated or standing place thumbs on your transverse processes (tps) of lumbar spine: i. Laterally flex to the left then right; what happens to your thumbs? 1. When L lateral flex you R rotation OR 2. When R lateral flex you L rotation ii. Forward bend and laterally flex to left then right; what happens to your thumbs? 1. When forward bend and L lateral flexion you L rotation 2. When forward bend and R lateral flexion you R rotation iii. Extend the spine and laterally flex to the left then right; what happens to your thumbs? 1. Extend and flex L = L rotation 2. Extend and flex R = R rotation ** Lateral flexion (side bending) and rotation of the vertebra ALWAYS happens together This is referred to a coupling. Bridges To Health Seminars 2015 Page 2
3 4. Coupling: means the vertebra bends and rotates together a. Type 1 motion = coupled to opposite side: ie. Side bend L, rotate R b. Type 2 motion = coupled to same side: ie. Side bend L, rotate L c. In Lumbar and Thoracic Spine: i. Lumbar spine side bends more than it can rotate ii. Thoracic spine rotates more than it can side bend ** Key issue is vertebra can get stuck in this rotated position; often due to tightness in muscles in the area that are holding them in the rotated position. Locating vertebra that are rotated: Pressure is gentle but firm and consistent Pressure into tissue within and around the lamina groove Don t wiggle around; sink in until the bone stops you 5. Exercise 4: With partner seated on table: a. Place thumbs just lateral to spinous process of L5. b. Sink into tissue staying horizontal with each other c. Note position of thumbs when you have sunk into tissues to the tps. d. Note if one side is more pronounced than the other. Note which vertebra. e. Move up and down the spinal column looking and feeling for a bump: A vertebra that is more posterior on one side. This is a rotated vertebra. Make note of it. f. When talking about the rotation it is said to be rotated to the side you feel the bump on: ie. R bump, R rotation. Note rotation in vertebra: Vertebra number: ie T10 Rotated Direction: Left or Right Bridges To Health Seminars 2015 Page 3
4 Addressing the rotation: No manipulations No high velocity thrusts Goal: unwinding and releasing soft tissue that holds vertebra in rotation while indirectly affecting boney structures that these tissues may be holding. 6. Exercise 5: Client seated: Find a rotated vertebra a. Place thumbs in the laminal groove and feel (and look) for the tp bump on one side and an indent on the other b. Sink into the side that is indented and hold this pressure (about 1 lb). c. Hold pressure until you feel tissue soften and release i. May feel energy, vertebra rotating; vertebra above or below moving. d. When tissue softens, release slowly, count to 20 to give it time to settle then recheck the rotation of the vertebra e. Repeat if it remains rotated. i. If it does not de rotate it may be a facet issue. Note the vertebra. Facets: Key vertebral landmarks: Spinous process Transverse processes Lamina Facets: articulating surfaces o Synovial joints o Face in different directions o Open when we flex forward o Close when we extend back o Can be stuck or fixed open or closed Facet and vertebra movement with forward flexion and extension: Forward flexion = facets open; vertebra slides slightly superior and anterior to the vertebra below it. Extension = facets close; vertebra slides slightly inferior and posterior to the vertebra below it. With facet restrictions one side stays in place and the other side pivots around it causing improper movement of the vertebra. Bridges To Health Seminars 2015 Page 4
5 Addressing facet restrictions: 1. Exercise 6: Client is seated on table. Select a vertebra that did not de-rotate in the last exercise OR just select a thoracic vertebra OR go to an area of discomfort in your partner (in thoracic region) a. STEP ONE: select the side you feel is stuck closed (Remember you will feel the bump as it is side bent and rotated to the bump side closing the facet) i. Have client bend flex forward. ii. Place your elbow, knuckle or thumb in the lamina groove just above that facet. iii. Apply slow but firm pressure until you sink in and cannot go any further. iv. Hold this as client breathes until you feel tissue soften and release. v. May have client move in and out of flexion as you maintain pressure. vi. Release tissue; have client come up to neutral, count to 20 allowing things to settle, reassess for the rotated vertebra. If it remains rotated go to step two. b. STEP TWO: move to the other side of this vertebra to the side you feel might be stuck open. i. Have client extend back. ii. Place your elbow, knuckle or thumb in the lamina groove just above that facet. iii. Apply slow but firm pressure until you sink in and cannot go any further. iv. Hold this as client breathes until you feel tissue soften and release. v. May have client move in and out of extension as you maintain pressure. vi. Release tissue; have client come up to neutral, count to 20 allowing things to settle, reassess for the rotated vertebra. vii. May repeat each of these steps as necessary. KEY POINTS: Facets fixed closed = client flexes the spine Facets fixed open = client extends the spine When palpating: Side with prominent transverse process (the bump) facets are closed Side with the indented transverse process facets are open Bridges To Health Seminars 2015 Page 5
6 Rotational Forces: their impact, our treatment: Soft Tissue Release Key Muscles affecting Rotation: Thoraco/lumbar fascia Spinalis, Longissimus, Iliocostalis Laminal groove muscles: Rotatores, Multifidi, Intertransversarii, Interspinalis Quadratus Lumborum, TFL, Adductors Rectus abdominis fascia Psoas, Iliacus Start with more superficial work on the tissues of the back then move into the deeper tissues.
