Charting

-Prone, stroking, rocking and effleurage

-Broad contact kneading, specific kneading on erectors, UT

- Light hacking and clapping on UT and back, wringing on back

- Mm stripping erectors, infraspinatus, UT

-Specific compression UT, infraspinatus, Rhomboid to release TPs. Manual stretch of UT

-myofascial release on the back, direct fascial on UT

-Supine, mm picking up on UT, squeezing SCM, stripping UT, specific kneading scalenes

- PNF to stretch UT & levator scap

-Direct fasical on neck and shoulder

- specific compression, friction on suboccipital muscles

- Traction & PA glide on C-spine

Increase joint mobility: direct fascial, friction, myofascial release, rhythmic mobilization

Decrease pain: effleurage, myofasical release, direct fascial, shaking, rhythmic mobilization

Decrease resting muscle tension and muscle spasm, normalize neuromuscular tone: effleurage, petrissage, stripping, specific compression, myofascial release, direct fascial, rhythmic mobilization, rocking, shaking

Normalize muscle integrity and posture: crossfiber and longitudinal stroking, petrissage, stripping, specific compression, direct fascial, friction, myofascial release

Release TP: specific compression, crossfiber strokes, stripping, passive stretch

Normalize neuromuscular tone and performance, decrease muscle tone: compression, deep effleurage, petrissage, percussive techniques

Decrease edema: SLD, superficial effleurage, broad comtact compression, petrissage

Stretch UT, Lev scap, suboccipital mm: hold 30", 3x/day, every day for 6 weeks (Neck)

Strengthening deep neck flexors: isometric for 5"x10 per set, 3 sets daily with 2min break between sets, every other day for 8 weeks

Strengthning rhomboid: isotonic with 5lb weight bilaterally, 10x/set, 3 sets daily with 2 min break between sets, every other day for 8 weeks

Stretch QL, erector spinae (L-spine): hold 30", 3x/day, every day for 6 weeks (LBP)

Strengthening abdominal mm: isotonic curl up, 10x/set, 3 sets daily with 2 min break between sets, every other day for 8 weeks (LBP, posture)
