Part 4 Adjusting

  1. Rules for adjusting:
    • 1. Did you mess something up? Say "I'm going to demonstrate this one more time."
    • 2. Show where you're counting, but no need to verbalize.
    • 3. For cervical adjustments: keep the nose midline, only 15 degrees of rotation. 
    • 4. Write down LOD & which side you need to have up before you get into the room. 
    • 5. "Top 3, bottom 3 hand by the knee."
    • 6. Single hand adjustmentsSuperman 42... SP contact w/ sup hand, crossing the spine... hand parallel if contacting TP or MP.
    • 7. Be obvious with showing tissue pull & LOD.
  2. Listings on part 4...
    Motion palpation restriction listings: referencing VB... ex) right rotary restriction = body cannot move right (SP cannot move left), left LF restriction = body cannot move into left LF (OW on left).
