A. What we teach:
APBC Specific short-lever hand-given mobilizations or spinal low-force instrument adjusting with very specific segmental contact points and vectors – 90% & some key HVT manipulation 10%.
Q. Do we have clear differential diagnosis ?
A. APBC gives clear differential diagnosis to find the pathology that identifies the tissue causing the symptoms or the need for a medical referral. APBC teaches you with new methodology of testing using neurological & leg tests to find pelvic, spinal & extremity misalignments.
All techniques are backed up with scientific EMG studies via a PC in the class & peer-reviewed PhD papers.
Q. How do we balance the Pelvis ?
A. APBC short-lever specific mobilizations, adjuster pro instrument-assisted corrections & some key HVT/Grade 5 manipulation for
1. Pelvic Girdle
2. Ilia/Ilium
3. Sacrum
4. Pubic joint
5. Coccyx.
Q. Does the rib cage affect the pelvis ?
A. Did you know if you’re suffering from a ‘Globally twisted rib cage’, this will maintain pelvic girdle misalignments?
Q. What pathologies and misalignments do we teach?
A. Lumbar section:
- Globally twisted rib cage
- Simple Lumbar misalignments L5-L1, PL & PR listings or spinous process left or right
- Lumbar facet syndrome
- Lumbar Disc techniques L5-L1 PRS PLS PLI PRI listings
- Lumbar anterior subluxations L5-L1
- Facet pain
- Discogenic pain
- Disc Neuropathy/Sciatica
Q. Do we teach you to diagnose pathology?
A. Yes – Radicular pain/symptoms down the leg can be caused by:
- Infection
- Neoplasm
- Fracture
- Capsular ligament injury
- Disc
- Facet
- Piriformis syndrome
- Hip pathology
- Visceral somatic reflex
- Peroneal nerve entrapment at fibular head
Q. What thoracic misalignments do we teach ?
A. Thoracic section:
- T12-T1 Thoracic Spinal Facets Techniques
- T12-T1 Thoracic Disc Techniques
- T12-T1 Anterior Thoracic techniques
- Thoracic posterior ribs techniques
- Thoracic Anterior rib techniques – sternal costal – First rib techniques.
Q. Can thoracic spine pain be caused by thoracic cavity organs ?
A. Yes – Be aware that any organ in the thoracic cavity can refer pain to the thoracic spine via a visceral somatic reflex.
Q. What misalignments are taught in cervical spine ?
A. Cervical section:
- Cervical facets techniques in supine C7-C1
- Cervical Disc techniques in seated C7-C1
- Anterior Cervical misalignments or subluxation techniques in seated –
- Anterior uncovertebral joint techniques
Q. Is the occipital bone important?
A. Did you know you can’t fix the Atlas if the occipital bone has misalignments
- Occipital subluxation techniques for posterior occiput anterior occiput inferior occiput – Safe HVT Atlas C1 techniques with minimal rotation
- Safe HVT Axis C2 techniques with minimal rotation
- Safe gentle Atlas C1 techniques with minimal rotation
- Safe gentle Axis C2 techniques.
Q. Do we teach assessment for differential diagnosis for radicular pain down the arm ?
A. Radicular pain symptoms down the arm can be caused by:
- Infection
- Neoplasm
- Fracture
- Capsular ligament injury
- Disc
- Facet
- TOS Thoracic outlet syndrome
- Rotator cuff injury
- Pronator teres syndrome
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Visceral somatic
Q. What’s taught on Our Sport Extremity Diploma?
A. Upper lower extremity HVT manipulation, upper & lower extremity mobilizations when HVT is contraindicated, rehabilitation for extremity pain, soft tissue for extremity pain, APBC pelvic and spinal soft tissue manipulation, APBC soft tissue & mobilization, APBC Rehabilitation SI J Full spine & upper lower extremities.
