It’s not that the biomechanics don’t matter when it comes to injury, pain, and dysfunction.

It’s that there is more leading to why things are “off”.

One of the main jobs of the musculoskeletal system is to protect the vital organs, so it seems reasonable that the body my limit mobility, change motor control, and be sensitive to pain, when there are visceral dysfunctions.

And spoiler alert any movement and any treatment has been effecting the viscera- you just haven’t been seeing it through that lens.

Learn how to assess and treat from this lens, a more whole organism paradigm can be a game changer it getting faster results that stick for your clients!

A mediocre technique in the right place beats the best technique in the wrong place.

I first heard a version of this in a Barral course, and it’s shaped how I practice ever since. I love visceral manipulation. But the LTAP® doesn’t ask you to drop what you do or learn a whole new toolbox first.

Your manual therapy, needling, exercise, Pilates, DNS, or PRI is already reaching the viscera and nervous system. LTAP® shows you where to point it, using orthopedic tests you likely already know plus osteopathic inhibition testing.

Part 3 of 9: The orthopedic objective assessment. 🦵🏽

The LTAP® already told me where treatment starts: a central nervous system tension pattern on the left. Now I pause and ask Amy what’s going on.

Right hip pain. Front, back, inside, outside, moving around. Some snapping when she moves her thigh. Tension down into her calf. She’d been walking 6 to 10 miles at a time in new shoes for a couple of weeks.

Then I gather my orthopedic markers:
Hip flexion: she started guarding at about 20 degrees.
Hip extension: her pelvis came along early. Not much there, lacking about 45 degrees from neutral.
Passive knee bend: her pelvis rotated to avoid tension through the front of the hip at around 45 degrees of knee flexion.
Slump test: tension in her low back, and she kept trying to control it, positive contralateral leg lift indicating CNS.

She’s a yoga teacher, so she’s really good at managing her body. That makes it harder to see what her body does before she catches it. So I gave her something else to think about. Saying every other month backwards, out loud, takes away her ability to guard, and the tension shows up.

Put together: neural tension on the right, the side of her pain.

What I didn’t do: a bunch of provocative hip tests to rule in or out labral or arthritic stuff. She has a big physical performance coming up, and irritating her hip more wasn’t going to help her. I already know where the body is telling me to go.

These markers aren’t for diagnosis today. They’re my retest. After every round of treatment, I come back to them to see if what I did actually mattered.

And notice: the pain is on the right. The LTAP® sent me to the left side of her head. 👀

That’s Part 4.

Three nerve glides I come back to again and again. Not because they’re magic, but because of what they show us about how the body is wired.

Look at where these nerves go.

The obturator is a “hip” nerve. It also influences the pelvic floor, SI joint, and lower abdominal peritoneum.

The trigeminal is a “face” nerve. It also influences the cranial dura and intracranial pressures.

The accessory is a “neck and shoulder” nerve. It also connects with the phrenic nerve and influences the upper abdominal peritoneum.

The nervous system doesn’t respect our body-part categories. It runs through the containers that hold your organs: cranium, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis. When one of those containers is under strain, the joint we’re treating can keep getting the message that something isn’t safe.

That’s often why ROM and strength improve but the results don’t hold.

These glides can help. But a good tool in the wrong place is just another exercise. The real skill is knowing where to start.

That’s what LTAP® Level 1 teaches. A clear way to assess the whole system, including the viscera and nervous system, so you can find the driver instead of chasing the symptom.

HOW TO:

Obturator Nerve Glide
• Start in half kneeling with one leg stepped out to the side
• Shift weight over that leg (hip abduction)
• Drop into head and thorax flexion
• Keep that shape and tuck/untuck your pelvis like you’re sweeping a tail forward and back (6x)

These nerve glides can help. But a good tool in the wrong place is just another exercise. The real skill is knowing where to start.

That’s what LTAP® Level 1 teaches. A clear way to assess the whole system, including the viscera and nervous system, so you can find the driver instead of chasing the symptom.

Comment “LTAP” and I’ll send you the link. Enrollment closes tonight for the Fall online cohort.

Trigeminal Nerve Glide
• Lengthen the back of your neck
• Side bend away from the target side
• Stick your head out like a turtle
• Slightly rotate toward the shoulder you side bent toward
• Open

Part 2 of 9: The central nervous system tension pattern test. 🧠

In Part 1, Amy’s SI joint was hypomobile, and a small breath hold changed it. That tells me the protection is coming from the central nervous system or the viscera. So I check the central nervous system first.

Two quick spots:
The mastoid process. Hers was more prominent on the left.
The sacral ILA. Find the sacral hiatus, move out to the inferior lateral angle, walk down to the inferior edge, flip your hands, come up onto the bone with a little superior glide, and compare sides. Her left was higher.

Why these two? Because they sit at the two ends of the dural tube. When there’s tension in the spinal cord and its coverings, the body side bends toward it to take tension off. The spine is the container, and it organizes around what’s inside it. You see it at the top and the bottom on the same side.

So if you’ve ever noticed a lumbar curve to one side and flatness on the other, it might not be tight muscles. It might be a protective pattern.

You can stretch it, mobilize it, or force range all day. It’ll keep coming back until you treat the real driver.

Now I know where treatment starts. And I still haven’t asked her what’s wrong.

That’s Part 3. 👀
